Default Leak!!! Please respond quickly

I have a small drip leak where the end of the water pump meets that aluminum hose that goes along the front of the engine (on a '94 eclipse GS 2.0). I drained the antifreeze and put some JB weld around that connection. Does anyone feel it will fix the problem? Will it be an easy change to get a new water pump in there?

its easier to put a water pump on while the head is off, but is an even bigger pain while ts still on, but the leak is because there is a rubber o-ring thats in the way and im guessing that your water pump needs replacing because if thats happening, then its getting old. and if you take all the accessories off as well as the front cover then it can be replacedd while the head is still on. because ive done it. also if you need any pics of the motor, i can get them b/c mines on the ground behind my car.
