Default water leaking!

Yesterday as I was filling my tank up at the gas station. I rode off but not noticing that my 97 f3 was leaking water. When I mean leaking I it was more like a rapid water fall. I didn't feel anything break. My question is, could it be the water pump or gasket?

Is this area where its leaking from? Lots of other things can cause a rapid water leaks as well as wot you mentioned, burst (old) rubber hoses, clamps or somethings pierced the radiator itself

It was leaking directly from the headers. I have yet to do a complete look sense I am away from home on military duties. I was thinking it can be a bad hose. I will get back to you with pictures. thanks!

Well, at least you can pretty much rule out the water pump. It's on the left side by your foot. Near the headers sounds like a hose to the radiator. Naturally pulling the lower fairings will make it easier to diagnose.
