The B230 IS a Volvo engine. Anyway, I find cleaning the engine compartment makes it much less daunting to explore. Just spray the cleaner around in there, let it soak for a few minutes, then hose it off. You'll be much better able to find any leaks.

The Haynes manual includes some pretty good "orientation" pictures that will help you identify various components. If you don't want to spring for one, just take a look through it at the bookstore or library (the auto parts store near me seals them in plastic, probably so they don't get dirty fingerprints). I don't know the V6, but the water pump is almost certainly at the front of the engine. It has a pulley with a belt on the front, and you'll see a couple thick rubber hoses attached to it.
