Water pump is run by the timing belt. So, you have to do everything required to replace the timing belt plus a few more capscrews that hold the pump in. These should be done at the same time, 10 years or 100,000 miles, which ever comes first.
To change the water pump in a 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback, start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal and draining the coolant. Remove the timing belt covers, then loosen and remove the timing belt by marking the belt's position for reinstallation. Next, unbolt the water pump from the engine block, clean the mounting surface, and install the new pump with a new gasket. Finally, reassemble everything in reverse order, refill the coolant, and check for leaks.
in with the timing belt change them at the same time
The water pump on a 1991 Subaru Legacy is in the engine compartment. It is found at the base of the engine.

Generally it is recommended replacing the timing belt and water pump on a 4 cylinder Subaru engine at 10 years or 100,000 miles, which ever comes first.
See your user manual, its great for help with all the basic maintenance
You need to burp the radiator and cooling system.
If I did it would be because there is a flaw in the gasket that seals the trunk lid. To find it take a flashlight and have an assistant with keys close you in the trunk. Have your assistant run water from a hose over the trunk lid while you look at the seal from inside. You will find your leak.
For the heater core. All cars have them.
Same problem turned out to be a hair line fracture to the head!
Go to: http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b12/ Select Body Style, Engine Type, Transmission, etc. Go to Cooling System. Select Water Pump; You should find Thermostat, Gasket & applicable part numbers...
If you change the timing belt, I would replace water pump as well. Unless it's not working I would not replace it....
