Had a similar problem with my daughter's '96 sunfire.
There's two weep holes on the pump, one above the water pump shaft that you can see, and one you can't because it's under the water pump shaft. The one you can't see is usually the one that weeps (leaks)
Just to make sure it's the pump, check all the hoses that are around the pump (1 large hose that goes to the radiator from the pump, and a 2 smaller hoses, one that leads off to the heater core and one that leads to the reservoir tank. If no leaks on or arounf your hoses, you probably need to replace the pump.
