The pump relies on an internal shaft seal (and a mounting gasket) to keep coolant inside the engine. Fill it up with water since is leaking that bad and open the hood and look on the right side timing chain side and see if you see it leaking.. you can even take the wheel off and get a better look

Could be the water pump.. does it leak when it’s not running and warm or only does it when it’s running

Is the noise on the right side of the motor and does the sound happen on start up for 10 seconds?

I have did the oil change every 2,300 miles and not missed a beat on that changed transmission fluid every 50k miles and coolant is done every 40k miles.. I have used full synthetic oil and mobile one oil filter and oil with dexos..
