Default question about antifreeze leak

I have a 99 ram sport. i was driving down the road and noticed alot of smoke coming from my truck. i pulled over and turned it off ond there was anti freeze leaking bad from somewhere on the engine. ive tried to find where the leak is coming from but cant pinpoint it cause the belt have flung it all over the engine.
i was just wondering if anybody has had the same problem and could give me some tips on where and what to look for.

If the belt is slinging it around, I'd look at the water pump. I'm new to Dodge's, but my old Fords had a weep hole near the bottom of the water pump that would leak if the seals went bad. Just a guess.

I just went out to my truck, and it's too tight in there to see or feel for the hole.

If it is white smoke I would guess its a head gasket. It could be leaking from your water pump at the same time though.
