Engine is overheating.
If your 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora keeps overheating and the issue is not the thermostat or the water pump, it could be the cooling fan. It might also be the radiator (leaking) or the hoses between the engine and radiator, or the shroud could be clogged or damaged.
The radiator cools the water which then goes to your engine to cool it off, as cool water enters your engine hot water from the engine enters your radiator
On my 1998 Aurora with a 4.0L V8, the water pump is on the driver's side of the engine. It is right at the top of the engine.

Engine straining Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Plugged or restricted radiator? Water pump? System airbound? Defective radiator cap?
with engine at running, and at running temperature,carefully remove radiator cap then have some one else rev engine ,doesnt need to be full speed. while engine is being run at higher revs, look in radiator to see if there is movement of the coolant.if no movement then water pump is not working also check under car for coolant leaking on to ground check water pump for loose bearings and for weep hole leakage if weep hole is leaking, replace pump
A radiator cools the water that flows around the engine.
The water is boiling in radiator because it's temperature(radiator's) reaches the boiling point of water when the engine works for a long time.
The water pump humps cool water from the radiator through the engine. Hot water. Leaves the engine and enters the top of the radiator. The hot water works its way through the radiator cooling itself.
Look for a radiator cap and add it there.Look for a radiator cap and add it there.
Engine overheating. Check the radiator for leaks in the hose pipe or radiator, otherwise the water pump is faulty and will need replacing
