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.
