First, check to make sure your cooling fan is working, if not , could be fan motor , relay or temp sensor. if it is, it may be a clogged radiator?? start with these things first, they are the easest ...there are a lot more things it could be... that will be more involved (harder) to get into...Hope this helps you ?? Good Luck
If there is no liquid in your oil, or you oil doesn't look white and mucky on your dipstick, you need to replace your radiator. If your oil is white and mucky on the dipstick, you have bad head gaskets.
a bad heater core will just leak. it could leak alot. do you ever smell antifreeze? check the coolant level. it can get pretty low before it will overheat. the thermostat should be ok but there could be corrosion. when you had the water pump replaced was the cooling system flushed? 2001, its probably due for a flush. what coolant does it take? (green or orange)
depends on the engine....a 2.4 requires the removal of the timing belt......on a 3.3 /3.8 the water pump is on the passenger side close to the fire wall.look for an orange or green coored residue in the vacinity of the pump....i would bet its leaking
