Your water pump is right under your A/C compressor. It is turned by the same two belts which turn the alternator. After you refill the car with coolent, use a flashlight to check it out. You should be able to see its pulley and also if any water is leaking out without moving anything There are a few common spots for coolent to leak from. It has been my experience that when the water pump starts leaking the water pools up under the back(near firewall) of the engine. If the water is pooling up under the front of the engine, look at the radiator(of course), and also check the thermostat housing(I never actually saw that leak) I have seen the metel pipe between the two upper radiator hoses fail. Feel underneith it and see if it is wet. There are also coolent hoses going to the throttle body that can leak as well as the head and intake mainfold gaskets.
