Looks very like the hose to me Chris :



Unless i'm mistaken, the end is delaminating and leaking, also on the other pic there is a clean patch on the underside of the water pump stub where the hose meets it which is probably the source of your leak.

If you can see what i mean and perhaps confirm it in "real life", i would suggest renewing that hose. If you're very quick and have new clips on a new hose, you should be able to loosen the clips on this one, loosen the hose at both ends then whipe it off and the new one back on without losing too much coolant. If you have a bowl/bucket below, that will cath most of it and you can then just add it back in, topping up if needed.
