You could be lucky and the water pump is politely failing instead of
just puking all the coolant out at once.....

You need to do a close visual inspection to find out where the leak is
before it damages the engine from overheating.

When the waterpumps fail, you can put your hand under the nose of the
pump to feel for liquid after you shut it off. There is a bearing weep
hole there that will be the first place to show a leak usually if the
pump is failing nicely.

You could also have a loose clamp on a hose or a leak in the rad or any
of the hoses.

The vehicle isn't safe to drive as is with an unknown leak. leaks can
turn into gushers really quickly sometimes.
