Default Coolant leak from water pump (I think)

So I have a pretty substantial coolant leak in my '98 Century. I can't see exactly where it's coming from but it looks like it is leaking on the serpentine belt and pulleys and then being flung all around the engine compartment. I am guessing it must be coming from my water pump through the weep hole but is there any way to confirm that? It's in a really awkward spot and I can't think of any way to get a good look at it without taking the belt and pulley off.

One way to do this is to use a flashlite and small mirror. Shine the light on the mirror and aim the mirror somewhere under the belt and water pump pulley until you can see the weep hole. If it is corroded and wet that would confirm it is leaking.
