I needs help fingering this one out

I have a seeping noise and a hell of a lot of smoke coming from the passanger side of the engine bay. Seems like its down low, next to the pully.
*I had thought it was the gasket part of the cover or engine but I checked while it was spraying and im pretty sure its coming more from the front of the block. Also I had my water pump changed with my timing belt 9 months ago, and my timings slipped in the past 2 months, so Im hoping these ******* didnt screw the pooch
* Another odd notion, my brake light was stuck on during the drive previous to my smoke show

Im going out to check my oil and water now that shes cooling down, but IDK.

*crossed fingers, please be a blown tube or pin hole :bow:
 
From the location I would say water pump or one of it's associated hoses.

Brake light should not be affected by anything in this area so I would guess that would be a sticky pedal switch.
 
It ended up being the bottom hose, just at the connection (where the cinch is)
but wtf would lead to this? Just age old corrosion or could there be a pressure problem?
any info here would be amazing;
isnt the downward tube the in-feed? would should pressure build up there, id of figured thatd be an outward problem
 
Where the hose is clamped can wear/rub through and hoses can become brittle with age.

Not sure re pressure, Mr F would be the one to ask about that.

The hose ever to let go on me due to pressure os the small elbow between the cylinder banks just behind the cambelt
