The pump seal bellows have split. The pumps are expensive little buggers. Usually you can only swap the pump but it is possible to swap out the seals if you're that way inclined. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

As said by Pete, the pump seal is burst/broken.
They are two separate parts that rub together to form a seal.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-face_mechanical_seal
The hole is there for two reasons, one to prevent water passing into the engine via the water pump drive shaft. And two, to let you see the seal is leaking.
It's called a Tell-Tale Hole.
Some pumps can be repaired by fitting a kit, some can be bridged and just the seal replaced and some cannot be opened to allow access. Factory sealed.
You may be lucky on eBay.
About £200 for a pump or £30 for a kit. (Guess)
I would do the kit if it were mine.
Or try this shit:
