Hello,
If water is leaking from the bottom of the water pump then it is bad and needs to be replaced. This happens when the bearing fails and allows coolant to leak around it. There is a hole placed on the bottom of the water pump to keep the leaking coolant from making it to the bearing and causing it to freeze up. In the diagrams down below I have included the instructions from the vehicle manufacturer for the removal and installation of your vehicle's water pump. Please go through this guide and get back to us with how everything turns out.
Thanks,
Alex
