There is a weep hole on the bottom of the water pump that leaks coolant when the pump shaft bearing/seal fails and the pulley flings the coolant all around as it appears in your pic. Not too bad of a job to change the pump... once you get the plastic shroud out of the way you will have a better look at it. Tips...break loose the pump pulley bolts before removing the belt... and there is no need to disconnect lines from the power steering pump, there is enough slack to move it aside (keep it upright so as not to lose steering fluid). Good luck.
