Location all around 65.23. What you do is just kill Fizzcrank mechagnom and then you use The Greatmother's Soulcatcher on corps. They are not many of them and surrounded by their robots so it may take time to finished quest.
Engineers don't forget to take your tools. If you are engineer you can loot different engineering parts from robot corps, which you may find useful later on.

Description

The mechagnomes in the pools to the west are a great mystery to us. They appeared not long after the gnomes disappeared from their pumping station and its environs. They are an unnatural danger and must be dealt with. Take this soulcatcher and use it on the remains of the mechagnomes to capture their souls. When you return, we will set them free so that we might find out what happened.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
