Engine Cooling problem
1997 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Hello.
Im trying to get the location and the basics on replacing the water pump on my grandmother's 1997 2.4L Twin Cam Cavalier. I filled it with Dexcool last night and this am it was all over the ground. She says it has been running at a little higher temp than normal, but not overheating. I am mechanically inclined, but have never done a water pump on this vehicle before.

Thanks so Much in advance.
