Coolant Leak not sure if it’s coming from a hose or the engine itself.

I have a coolant leak on my 2002 Buick century. Water pump went and had that replaced and noticed the leak also had the radiator replaced shortly afterward that had a whole and a crack in it. Now I have this leak and I do not know the origin of this. I have placed a few videos for any suggestions from anyone if possible. I left a few links so people can get a view of the problem.

 
Unfortunately, because you begin recording right up next to the leak, it's hard to determine exactly what part of the engine is being recorded. You might want to start each video by looking at the entire engine and then move in for the closeups. I cannot tell if it is one leak or many.

However, in the meantime, check all the hose clamps to make sure they are present and if they are, that they are tight (they do not have to be cranked down all the way). Also, look the hoses over and make sure they have not sprung a leak.
 
Agree with above and assuming it's a 3.1 here's a diagram on the water pump area, but the video isn't really clear or stable long enough to see anything but steam.
