Default water leak

I just bought a 94' Accord and do not know what I am looking at. On the driver's side in the back of the engine I have a slow water leak. Is this the water pump or something else? I am having to keep refilling the radiator because or the water loss. If someone could help me I would appreciate it. Thank you.

the radiator fluid is called "coolant" (green stuff)... if its leaking it could be a hose cracking, or maybe a hose is just loose or not clamped in right... you have to pinpoint the spot before someone can actually help you out. if you have a digital camera snap a pic of the part if you dont know what its called.

I don't think that it is a hose. It is behind the engine block on the driver side of the car. I guess my question is: Where is the water pump? What does it look like? Is it near the timing belt housing? First of all, the leak is behind the block and up high. I have had it over heat on me and I don't know if the block is cracked or a part attached to it is leaking.

well the waterpump is yes right next to the timing belt behind the cover. but its not a easy task to replace if you dont have a manual or experience.
