Without knowing any details at all, a water pump seems like a decent guess to me. I'm with you, take it to a professional repair facility and they'll let you know what the problem is, how much it will be to fix it and when they can have it done for you. I recommend finding one on ASE.com. Look for a Blue Seal rated shop. These will be the cream of the crop since only 3-4% of facilities have this elite certification.

You either have a bad hose (easy to see), heater hose (again, easy to see), bad cap on the radiator letting it out the overflow when it's hot, or a bad water pump that will leak all the time (and you should be able to see it leaking down the front of the engine).
If you can't identify it, save yourself some time, and possibly money, and have it checked out. Probably won't take someone more than 5 minutes to identify the problem.

well first before you can fix it, you need to find out where it's leaking from. the water pump is a good start, or check your hoses, or maby the thermostat?
good luck
