waterpump or gasket ?

i got a 2000 buick regal 3.8l and i got a leak from behind the water pump on top its coming out from the edge of the water pump can it be my gasket or do i need to change the whole water pump out i think i might as well change the pump out but i don't know.

There is also a small plastic elbow just above the water-pump that can leak also.
