Identifing strange coolant leak from 97 GP 3.8L?

Question:
My 97 3.8 liter GP has developed a serious collant leak from a rather odd location. I added coolant directly to the radiator as it was quite low. After starting the engine, a stream about the size of a pencil was observed above the water pump. The brownish area in the following pictures link is where the stream is seen:

This is a close up of the area. The red arrow points to where the stream is coming from(the stream is actually coming from under the black bracket).
