Replaced the water pump about a year ago along with new hoses attached to it.
Culprit?
- water pump?
- valley pan?
-is the alternator water cooled? Possible leak?
-hoses?
Thanks.

You are going to have to pressure check it to see where the culprit lies. In any event depending on how many miles you have on the X at some point you will want to change all the hoses. Valley pan leaks normally show signs at the back of the engine dripping down through the bellhousing. You have a pretty good leak so it should not be too difficult to determine where it is doing the pressure check. You may also want to wash down the engine to get a clear path to the leak.
