Could be the gasket, or a hose etc.  IME when the pump seal fails =
coolant is flicked off the pulley and round the engine compartment.

seals.  Take the fan belt off and spin the pump - coolant or noise?  =
Same with the alt.  The run it without the fan belt and see if the noise =

  I'm thinking the water pump has failed?  Here is where water is =
dripping out.

  =20

  Short history - car was running and driving; we took the engine out to =
work on the transmission; life got in the way; a few years later we put =
them all back in (and, peripherally, there was a problem with the clutch =
fork so we had to pull it again!!!!  looking for a little sympathy . . =
.)  got it back in, started it up, and getting a steady stream of drips =
right here.  and there is a bit of a racket coming from the front of the =
engine.

  =20

  Am thinking the seals in the pump dried out.
