Cherokee water pump

My jeep has suddenly started loosing all its coolant, it holds all the coolant fine until I switch it off then all the coolant flys out of the underside of water pump think its from the weep hole.
I only replaced the pump about 10 months ago it was only a cheap one from my local spares shop but surely it should have lasted longer than that, anyone know roughly how much a genuine jeep one would be as the last one I took off was the original one and it had done over 140,000 miles
by the way its a 1999, 4 litre petrol

Turned out it was the bottom hose! where the split was it was shooting up against the underside of the water pump then down over.
Rang jeep up for a rad hose £57 and guess what they can get it until wednesday next week, ended up at my local spares shop buying a land rover pipe cutting the bend off that and using a piece of steel tube making up my own pipe
After loads of swearing and scuffed knuckles its back together and holding water again
