Raise the vehcile and secure it properly (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT).
Fill the radiator with water and go under the vehicle to see where the leak is coming from. Post that info here for more help.

On that vehicle the water pump is on the block near the timing belt/chain and is covered by the timing cover; so you can't inspect it for leaks easily. When it leaks the water can be seen as it exits the timing cover near the bottom on the radiator side of the engine. Wear safety glasses so that you don't get water in your face.
