Hi,

The water pump is there. Do me a favor. Take a look through this link and let me know if you are able to locate the leak. Note, the link has several possible leaking locations. If you page down to number 5, it discusses the water pump.

If you are still unable to locate the leak, then I would recommend pressure testing the cooling system. This is done with the engine cold and requires a pressure tester. Most parts stores will lend one to you. Here is a link that shows how it is done:

Let me know what you find and I'll direct you on the repair required.

Take care,
