Is this the water pump leaking?

I just did the headgasket and got my truck running pretty good… or so i had thought

I finally did a coolant flush and filled it to the top with new coolant, and when I did and finally revved it, it shot coolant out of here. do y'all think its just the water pump gasket or the water pump itself. im ballin on a budget and already have a water pump gasket.

New water pumps are not expensive, so I would install a new one when removing it, instead of replacing the gasket. Look online for the best prices, even after adding in the shipping.......it is still cheaper than buying at a auto parts box store.
