if u just PAID to have it swapped in take it back.
I know i damn well wont send a car out of the shop leaking anything ( unless the customer knows about it).

Part of installing an engine is making sure EVERYTHING is done and done correctly.

well it wasnt done by a shop. i had a friend help put it in. the motor was not new either. so what could this leaking water mean? its coming from waht looks like below the timing belt cover and only when it is running. also does the timing belt run the pump??

yes the belt runs it. your friend must not be to smart. If u had the motor out the 100,000 mile services should have been done new timing belt, waterpump and tensioner. considering it way easier to do that stuff with the engine out of the car.
yes that does sound right for your leakage. double check all you hoses. take a look around the heater core lines and there should be some small coolant lines near the IACV and FITV if your engine is equipped.
