only you can tell what hose is leaking. and the hoses clamp onto the alt bracket, not the water pump.
i also had one of the heater hoses go bad, the end swelled up and was no longer able to seal shut, and dripped. what i did was took the hose off went to the parts store and tried to match one up. crazy thing is one side of the hose has to be fatter than the other side. the heater core inlet is fatter than the alt bracket water tube.
sometimes you can cut off 2 inches of hose and re install it. that gets rid of the worn out part at the end of it.

The water pump doesn't have hoses running to the firewall the alternator bracket does.

Coolant elbows, look up dorman 47065, likely what you'll find is what you need.

yeah its a bit of problem to find one that fit.
the guy behind the counter started looking, 10 minuts later i was also looking with him behind the counter. anther 20 minutes to find one that would work. 7 or 8 trips out the car to test fit the new ones. it was fun.
