Couple days ago my car over heated & I noticed there is a crack in what some people are telling me is the water pump but im not to sure, but its located at the head of the engine and there are two lines running into it and one of those lines are coming from the coolant resivour bottle...can some one help out is this really the water pump or something else....this is a 04 ls v8 by the way.

Doesn't sound like the pump (either one of them).
This is the coolant outlet pipe (aka cooling tower).

This is the engine driven water pump.

This shows the electric water pump (item 14).

Max at Five Star Ford (look to the right) would be a good source for the part.
Please note that once you replace it, the LS is very very particular about bleeding all of the air out of the cooling system. There is a very specific procedure to follow.
