Check the filler neck when the car is cold and fill it up if needed.

You probably have a leak somewhere...check the hose that goes into the overflow tank it's a 2 hoses with a splice it always leaks...

Eww have fun. Search and not because I am being a dick. You will find lots on this topic. Alot of guys lost their coolant seals this last summer, me included. I doubt its a water pump failure in that there is nothing to fail on it. It consists of a housing,bearing,blade,and a pulley to run it. Your problem is elsewhere.
