Default water pump failure

so today i was getting on it, and i started to notice a coolant smell. so i pop the hood and there is coolant all over my engine and hood. so i went through the process and there were no hoses broken. so my question is can a leaking water pump spew coolant all over the engine bay? if not what do you guys think the problem is?
