Got it changed
Took us 2.5 Hrs. The hardest part was scrapping off the old gasket from the engine.That took about 30-40- minutes in itself.
Again,Thanx Guys for all your support and Help.

I agree, the water pump is probably going bad.

My WP had a tiny leak. I could smell it and like you saw it on the hood but not on the ground. I also started having issues with the power steering. Turned out the weep hole leaked maybe a few drops a day and when it sat for a while would get the fan belt wet. The belt flung the coolant onto the hood and caused the power steering pump to slip.
Replaced the pump, opti and belt- no more issues
