The car ****es out all of the coolant im assuming that its coming from the water pump. How can I be sure it is the water pump, where is it located exactly. The head gasket hoses and rad are all good. It rushes out from the driver side and can be seen pouring out underneath very clearly. Hope this makes sense thanks.

Expensive guess. Why dont you get it checked first?

If you have the 2.2 motor, it is in the front of the motor on the passenger side. It pays around 1.8 hours to replace.

If it is the 2.4, it is on the bottom of the motor, passenger side run by the timing chain. It pays around 6 hours for that one.

Spend the few bucks and get it checked right.
