there is going to be a small hole called a "weep" hole that coolant will leak out of when it's time is up~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GPYhQx6aQA

Depends. Have you looked for where the water is coming from? Could be the pump. But it could also be the radiator, one of the hoses between the radiator and the engine, or the themostat housing. See if you can determine where it is coming from and then fix that part of the system.
