Where is the water pump and what does it look like? I'm having a hard time fixing a leak and I think it is on the pump so I may have to replace it. Unfortunately I may have a problem taking it off since I J B welded it but lets start with where and what?

Your water pump is timing belt driven, you need to replace the timing belt at the same time as the pump.

As for what it looks like it is located directly behind your fan clutch.

Most leaks on these engines seem to be due to bad hoses, check your clamps and all that jazz, also check the system pressure as the caps ten to fade with age, also do not hesitate to put a little heavier mixture in as the radiators on these cars are just way too much, you can easily run 60/40 antifreeze to water.
