Are you looking for a coolant leak? There's a number of ways to do this. You could look for visible drips. You could spray the water pump and hoses with a mixture of soap and water to detect bubbles forming from a leak. If you have a blacklight, you can put a florescent dye into the coolant, let it cycle, then (in a dark environment) use the blacklight to detect the dye where it's leaking out of the cooling system.
If you're getting oil into your coolant, on the other hand, your problem probably isn't in the water pump, and could very well be in the head gasket (if you're semi-lucky), or the mixture could be due to perforation of the block or cylinder walls.
I'm really hoping for your sake that it doesn't turn out to be as bad as what I think it could be.
