Does anybody know where the water pump is on a 1998 Hyundai Elantra?
Is it under or behind the alternator?
Wherever it is, how big a job is it to replace it? Thanks.
Luvly Jubly, you think or you know? Please don't give me a sort-of answer just for the points.

water pump is located near the timing belt. You will have to remove timing belt to get to the water pump. Book time is around 2.2 hours of labor. To DIY, must be skilled considering you need to realign the timing on camshaft/crankshaft.

Just to add to answers above, the water pump is usually replaced at the timing belt change interval. Depending on how many miles you have on the timing belt, it would be a good idea to get it replaced as well, since the timing belt / water pump replacement is mostly labor cost.
