Coolant Spraying out from somewhere, HELP!

Okay this has me totally stumped. There is coolant spraying out from somewhere and hitting my serpatine belt and getting on my hood liner. It's not a big problem as my cooling system works great but I do have to regularly add coolant to the system.

I have looked everywhere and can't see it coming from anything. All the hoses and fitting a perfectly dry.

Has anyone else had a problem like this?

I had that happen to me tonight and I found it was coming from the hose that connects the heater control valve to the throttle body.

Theres a weep hole on the bottom of the pump that will leak when it goes bad might want to check that.

well i dont think its the heater control that sits above the belt. check hoses for punctures. If its sparyin out u can always open the hood and give the car gas from under the hood. and try different things.
