Default Water pump question??

While removing my WP today I had a little problem I removed the top bolts first but when I removed the driver side middle bolt the rest of my coolant in the block poured out the bolt hole. does this sound like a problem??

Just make sure its not pouring on the opti. I drain the radiator, and near the last bolts I put a bucket under.
