I replaced the upper radiator hose, there's water coming from behind the alternator. I think that's the alternator. Where the thermostat housing is but a bolt beside it.

Hello,

It sounds like it could be leaking from the thermostat housing.
It is possible to have a bad gasket for the housing.

If you would please upload a picture, this will make it easier to identify.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
