Leaking Lower Radiator Hose

I took these pics from under my car today and as you can see there is a leak in the lower radiator hose. However, there is a puddle of coolant under the car and it does not seem to come from the leaking lower radiator hose (pic 2) but rather from this hole right below the radiator (pic1). Also, does anyone know what size hose or where to purchase a new radiator hose. Sorry for posting so many pics.

Water pump has a hole in it and coolent will come out when it fails.Chack your water pump.And any local auto parts store should have your hose for under 10$

Or maybe your Rad has a hole
