Angry Ford 995 F150 Coolant Leak - PLEASE HELP!!!!

I have a 1995 Ford F150 5 speed
I am leaking coolant at the radiator hose where it connects into what looks like the water pump. And its a steady stream from where the hose connects.

Is that a bad hose, water pump or the gasket cover I keep hearing people talk about?

You have to follow the trail of coolant to its source. It might be coming down from the intake or throttle body, and just dripping off down there. First: which engine does it have? If you don't know, read this caption:



Second: study these:

Engine Type

300ci 1bbl/4.9L EFI I6

From what I have traced, it's coming from the section where the hose connects into the water pump. Unless I'm thinking that is where it's coming from but I'll check again.

Pull the fan, shroud, belt & WP pulley to get a better look. Leave all the hoses connected, & top up the coolant if necessary.
