This is such a rookie question.....how do I know the water level in the water pump is low? Where is the water pump located......

It's the water(BTW it's not water, but antifreeze) in the radiator you have to worry about, not the water pump.

Open the radiator cover only when the engine is cool! If the level is low, add antifreeze, but also make sure the reservoir(plastic containter with hose in the cover running to the top of the radiator) is always filled to the MAX line.

Thank you so much! What's the good quality brand name of such antifreeze? How often do I need to check upon the level? Is there a special mark on the container? I'm not sure which is the host connected to the radiator.....

The brand don't really matter. Most 50/50 Pre-mixed should be ok. Check the owner's manual for the recommended formulation.

Wouldn't hurt to check once a week. Yes, there's a mark on the container. The hose is connected at the neck of the radiator, below the cap. Follow that hose to the container that's attached to it.
