Water from engine ?

Last couple trips out my bilge had been emptying water, probably a gallon every 30 minutes. Checked the compartment and thought there may be a bellows leak, etc.

It started running while we were swimming nearby and the water felt hotter than the lake water. Back in the boat I lifted the engine cover and noticed water slinging off what would be the harmonic balancer in a car. Can't attach video. No leaks around hoses. Water pump? Any thoughts?

Had a similar issue.
Turns out the hose clamp was a little too far back on the hose connecting it to the water pump. Basically not on properly.
Loosened it. Slid it on and retightened. No more leaks.
