Default any tips for water pump diy?

Hello All,


after my last oil change it appears the water pump on my wife's 08 has started weeping. I've ordered the water pump kit and plan to do the install this weekend. One question, upon inspection I didn't see a radiator cap on the actual radiator. Is all the filling of the coolant done through the clear/white reservoir?

thanks to lobux and 9aristo for the info I found here:

thanks in advance for any responses

It's still sad it's such a common repair.

I'm on my second water pump.
the dealer changed it once already then it leaked again.
interesting thing is when I took the part off and the casting of some letters were different. I hope it was improved?
all the same part number though.....
