Where is the water pump on a 2000 Chevrolet Z24 Cavalier?

The water pump on a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 (with the 2.2L Ecotec engine) is located at the front of the engine, driven by the serpentine belt. It's generally on the passenger side (right side) of the engine block, but you'll need to look at it from the front to be certain. Because of the belt-driven system and its location, accessing it requires removing the serpentine belt and potentially some other components to reach it depending on your repair.
