Cry Like A Baby 164 is leaking water!!!

MY 164 is leaking water. It seems like it's coming from the leftside of the engine, where the timing belt is. I can't see exactly where its coming from. The leaking has gotten worse and worse. Im going to take the wheel off and take a look from the wheel well to see where its leaking from. I was hoping to get some advice on this before I checked it out. Just so I'd know what I'm looking for and also what I'm looking at. Its dripping water from the left side where the timing belt is and thats all I've got right now... water pump? thermostat? whats the most likely? is it a big deal? any feedback would be much appreciated... Thanks

Most likely is one or both of the short hoses that run from thermo housing to cylinder heads, you can see these by looking down between where you see the cambelt cover and the cylinder heads, they swell up and burst, bit of a pig to change but not impossible as a DIY job.

Other possible, waterpump blown or just gasket.....less likely though so check those hoses.
