Default Water Pump?

93 GS:
Had a horrible thing happen to me yesterday: Got to work, at idle my temp raised just enough for me to notice. I turned off the car and heard the dreaded hiss of escaping coolant. Popped the hood and looked down between radiator and engine and saw coolant coming from the engine, accessory side.
My first thought is water pump. I've yet to refill it and get a better look at the leak, but thought I'd go ahead and post.
Has anyone else had this happen? If so, water pump? Or is there something i might be missing?
btw, car hasn't gotten over normal temp in a long time

Yeah, I might be wrong but I read on one these "overheating posts" recently referring to replacing a blown block core plug in the area under the timing cover.
What caused this? Did you lose the pump drive belt or something?

Nope. Belts are fine. I found that it is not the water pump!
It is a coolant line that goes to the oil filter housing.
now, to find out where the other end of that hose goes...
