Hi,

There isn't any right in the front. They will be on the sides of the engine block.

Where are you seeing the leak? I ask because the water pump may be going bad. It is run by the timing belt and can't be seen without the removal of the cover.

Take a look through this link and see if it helps locate it:

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
