If you look where the belt is on the front of the engine, you can see the water pump. You should be able to tell if it is new. I'm sure it will be much cleaner than the rest of the engine.
As far as the leak, I recommend making sure the trans fluid level is full. If it is low, you need to locate the leak. If it is near the trans, chances are it is the trans pan leaking. It's not that big of a deal. Have the trans serviced with a new filter and they have to replace the pan gasket. However, make sure that is where the leak is coming from.
Let me know if you have other questions.
