leaking from the rear bottom left of engine area but can not see exactly where. I don't even know where the water pump is. Any ideas? Afraid it's probably not good.

Your water pump is located in front of your engine (remember your engine sits sideway) where the serpentine belt is. To find it just follow your lower radiator hose; it goes straight to your water pump.

If you're leaking coolant at the engine, it usually comes from one of the following: hoses, the thermostat housing (where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine), intake manifold (gasket), and water pump.
Since you said it is located on the rear of the engine that would rule out your water pump.
Check the hoses at/around the thermostat housing, the housing itself, and your manifold.
