Is this an overpipe hose leak? (photo)

Upon second look at photos, it seems that the connection from that pipe to water pump shows a spot that looks like a leak under a pressure or something. Funny thing, I have ordered all parts with only ONE part missing - that o-ring

I can confirm to everybody that after the fix I have NO coolant smell. Therefore, I think we can reject theories that it is normal to smell coolant. Also while impossible to tell, I think that the bad o-ring could be squished from factory and therefore it could also smell since new.
