citroen Xantia 1993, 1.8 prtrol - Water pooring out side of engine around the cam be - steveplymouth

I have a citreon Xantia 1.8 petrol 8v 5 door.

Yesterday, I notice water was pooring out around the cam shaft belt area next to the pully, I could not see because of the cam belt cover. Would this be the water pump leaking or the core p;lug?

Does any one know how long this takes to fix? and what aprrox cost is usual for replacement of a water pump,

Core plugs rarely fail nowadays - unless its been frozen recently. It will most likely be the water pump, the pump itself isn't expensive but its driven by the cambelt so that will need to be replaced as well. Will probably cost about £60.00 or so to do it yourself but plus labour costs for a garage I would expect around £200 - 300.00.
