Default had a problem today, please help>

i was changing my surpentine belt today, i took off the first one all was good, i come to try to take the smaller belt off something started leaking, it was like antifreeze i think, so im like what the f***....don't need this s*** now, what is this?, is my water pump going, i have been filling my antifreeze lately when my ecm says low coolant, but thats strange since i never see any leak on my garage floor.
please help guys, what is the problem, if it is my water pump is this an expensive job to do????
after this i didn't bother taking the smaller belt off and i put back my old belt on so i dont get it wet.

Well take a glance around to see where the leak is coming from. We all have seen the water pumps fail so, it very well may need a water pump. hard to say without seeing it.

You might of knocked off the coolant line running to the throttle body.

i didn't touch any water lines at all. how much and how hard is it to change a water pump?, is this normal the car does not leak when parked, but only when being driven?
