What kind of leak are you talking about? Air is leaking, water is leaking, oil is leaking? More specific would be better for the one that is answering.

About the swap, it depends on what you want, and what you want to use it for.

It's a coolant leak
i think maybe all i need to do is get a new water pump for it and replace
and then see what happens

All i want to do with the car is have a weekend drifter/time attack
and have it where it gets me to where i need to be

More likely than not your waterpump is kaput.

Thus the boiling resevoir and leak coming from the water pump.

As to what you should do, that's really up to you. Depends on a lot of different factors.
