Default Leaky 1991 Honda Accord

My 1991 Honda Accord overheated, and developed a leak at the back of the engine. The water streams out of this leak, a perfectly round stream, about the size of your little finger.

The leak is located on the driver's side, near the bottom of the engine. There is no water in the oil, and the engine runs fine, all things being equal. Any idea what this may be?

Need to find the leak....sounds large enough that if you refill the rad with water it will pour out of the leak....there are hoses back there, there is a water pipe back there.....So it is hard to "say" what/where the leak is?

There are no hoses where the water is pouring out.

Ok, can you post a pic or use mine and narrow it down? I really want to help but "I can't see" it.

OK, Changed the water pump, the timing belt and the other two belts. Car is running much better! No Leaks!

The last time the Water Pump was changed, whoever did it used a ton of sillicon around the edge of the pump.
