Default Major Water Leak pt2

So I got up early (freaking hot this time of year in Central Florida), and took that plastic protection plate thingy off the front behind the bumper, and filled the system up again. This time I could kinda see where the coolant was coming from. It looked like it's from that heat protection thing behind the radiator, also dripping from what seems to be the bottom hose. I also removed the air box and none of the top hoses are at all wet. And it looks like the water pump is dry too. (Darn, I ordered one yesterday).
Anyone think I'm right?

I took this video with my phone, trying not to get the phone wet. It shows the coolant dripping.

flyrr100 I replied on your 1st part of water leak, go back to that part to see what I've said. If water came out from the water pump you'll see water's pooling on top of trans. If you return the pump the shipping would eat up the refund, so either sale it or keep it just in case you keep the car long enough to replace the pump. There is no hose between the heat shield and the engine, as I've said in the first part there are two hoses down the bottom; one came from lower side of radiator goes into the engine, right between it and oil filter another one came out goes to the lower thermostat housing, the leak must came out from one of those two hoses, they fairly easy to replace.
