found my coolant leak, help!

I found two things when I removed my airbox...finally...

one, there is a hose that comes off the lower end of the waterpump housing, it seems to go torwards the turbos but I can't get to it because of the airpump, it wasn't all the way on the nipple on the waterpump side, so I grabbed it with my fingers to try and work it back on, and green coolant came all out

so i kept tooling with it and then i noticed that everytime i put pressure on the lower raidator hose with my elbow, coolant was coming out of the engine...but I can't quite see where its coming from, i'm guessing a bad waterpump gasket or a cracked waterpump housing, any ideas? how can I trouble shoot this further? why won't the small hose leading off the waterpump housing go completely over the nipple??

i wish i had a digi cam
