new water pump leaking
well i did my 60k service, while i was putting antifreeze in the car i notice the water pump was leaking. has a new gasket and o ring everything torqued correctly.
anyone else have this problem? and any suggestions to fix it without removing the timing belt ?
btw i did a search

Is it leaking from the o-ring or the surface where the waterpump meets the block?
Edit- my guess would be the o-ring. When doing timing belt services I've notices that if you're not paying attention to detail, the o-ring on the water pipe will sometimes not seat correctly. When I do mine I grease/oil the o-ring to help it seat in the waterpump housing. This would the first place I looked.
