Is this the water pump that has gone bad?

I need some help.
Take a picture and post it for us to see.

When was the last time the car had its oil and filter changed?
Was it recently?

If it was recent, then you might want to check to see if the oil filter cover was screwed back on tight enough, because if it isn't, and the oil starts leaking out, it will make the serpentine belt slip off of the pulleys.
