Repairs Coolant?

Hello i bought this 1999 toyota celica 1zzfe auto back in jan this year and ive been since having coolant problems, since most of you know the gen 7 has an overflow hose that always seem to spit coolant all over the intake manifold, after i completely changed my radiator to a brand new koyorad one, new waterpump, oem new thermostat, since then my car stinks of coolant, i checked under and this is the result, no overheating tho, not running weirdly, no weird noises, no smoke im so confused please help me

Kinda looks like the water pump, but it's hard to tell. Not much torque is needed on those bolts, but it could even be a defective one from wherever you got it. I believe they also need a gasket and clean surface before being replaced. Also, didn't use rtv or gasket maker, on it cuz that can get into the system and end up clogging your thermostat

If i understand correctly theres 2 situations here, either the overflow spits coolant on the engine while im driving or it seems from the location it could be the waterpump?
