I have a 1997 J30 and it over heated today. It looks like it's leaking higher than the water pump. The radiator looks like it's holding water. When I bought the car it was suppose to have a new water pump and it does look new. It's not losing any compression so I think the head gasket is okay. Any ideas?

Also does anyone have a site that shows the head gasket replacement and water pump replacement?

You need to do a pressure test on the car to see where the water is coming from it may be a hose clamp, or a small crack in a hose. easy fix.
