you probably do bro before replacing it remove the pump and inspect it for any signs of rust or cracks. and if does then thats your problem

Rust?
Water pump is the most likely source at the front of the engine. Could be a bad gasket, or a failing pump. Water pump is pretty easy to replace on these guys.
