the leak is coming from a location above this hose
Engine: 3.2 L V6 (W202 Type? i think)

Back story: Drove thru a huge puddle, one that jolted the vehicle on impact. Next morning I notice a huge puddle of coolant. Also front engine splash shield has a tear near the driver-side front wheel (this damage predates the puddle incident). I attemptted to trace the leak and discovered coolant gushing from a location right above the lower radiator hose's connection to the engine (behind this black pulley). I don't know if the puddle incident had anything to do with it, but I didn't notice such a huge leak (accompanied by the "low coolant" indication) until the very next morning (24hrs max). Attach is an image and a video of what I saw. Where can the coolant be coming from? And what's the likely fix?
