Water pump weep hole faces down and would drip onto whatever's below the center of the water pump, your garage floor likely.
So it could be coming from the hoses you mention. Don't just reef on the screws. If it's heater hoses, they attach to plastic nozzles out of the heater valve and those can crack, or get crushed from over-tightening. The plastic gets brittle as it ages. So be very careful. I'd pull the hoses, lube the clamps, look real close at the plastic.
If hoses to metal, there may be corrosion on the fittings where they push on, and also some bonded to the rubber up inside the ends of the hoses.
For any hoses on metal I'd do a partial drain-down of coolant, loosen the clamps and pull the hoses, pull the clamps off and lube and de-rust them and free up their motion, clean the spigots with stainless scrub pad and water, or power wire brush, or plumber's emery cloth, clean out INSIDE ends of hoses, also with scrub pad or sandpaper, then reinstall, tighten just to what feels firm.
Take even a rusted old hose clamp, lube with oil and run it back and forth thru its range a couple of times, off the car, (or a brand-new hose clamp), and install it using a nut driver and socket. Then you should be able to feel the point where it begins to get hard to turn. Don't go much further or you can cut or crush the hoses or the hose nozzles.
Any boiling over going on from coolant reservoir?
