Coolant leak help

[denniswise9]

Hi all,

Got a coolant leak from what I think is the bottom of the water pump (it is dripping as soon as the thermostat comes on)...I have attached some pictures and would be grateful if anyone could confirm if it is the water pump, and if there are any hoses that run underneath or if it will be possibly cracked or corroded.

Is it an easy fix or a pig of a job and how much would it cost at a garage?

Can't keep up with how quick is is coming out!!

Cheers!
