Is it the smaller water hose from the heater core? Coming from the firewall behind the engine? The metal fitting on the water pump will have to be replaced. Some are threaded and screw in. Others are press fitted, If a shop can get to the fitting where it is, they might fix it easily. Otherwise, you may need to have the pump removed, and a new fitting installed, or hey, a good time to replace the pump.
Good luck.

I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan 3.3 L that requires what sounds like a similar repair. Using phosphorescent die I traced the leak to a gasket between the engine block and what appears to be a housing for the water pump, though it is much larger than the pump and odd shaped. The water pump isn't leaking as far as I can tell. Can anyone explain this one to me? I want to do this repair myself but have don't know if I'm getting in deep with this one.

Make sure it's cool, pop the radiator cap, Remove the shield on the passenger side between the tire and front of engine. Relieve the tension on the serp belt,draw yourself a diagram of the pulleys and belt routing in case the sticker is gone on the strut tower, remove the serp belt. Take the bolts out of the pulley on the front of the water pump (3). Remove the lower radiator hose at the front cover to drain the coolant. Remove the 6 mm bolts holding the water pump to the front cover housing. tap on the pump with a rubber hammer. Install a new gasket on the new pump, and a weap hole diverter in the pump (round black about hte size of a quarter), use old one if there's no new one. Install pupm and tighten bolts snug with a 1/4" ratchet. Install pulley and 3 bolts. Install belt, top off radiator with 50/50 mix green coolant. start engine and run to operating temperature,make sure the belt is seated in all of the pulleys and is running true, radiator fans should come on. Shut engine down and let cool overnight. Check level in radiator and overflow bottle, top off as necessary.

depends on the engine....a 2.4 requires the removal of the timing belt......on a 3.3 /3.8 the water pump is on the passenger side close to the fire wall.look for an orange or green coored residue in the vacinity of the pump....i would bet its leaking

when installing new o-ring on tube, lubricate o-ring and stick it in water pump. Then pull pressure back on tube and then tighten hold down clamp. problem solved
