Ok, after I spent some time trying to find the leak, I noticed that the water pump was leaking around the seal to the engine. After I started pulling things apart to check the torque on the bolts I noticed that it was the water pump temp sensor leaking. Just enough where you couldn’t notice the coolant on the shiny new cast pump, and it was trickling down the front side of the motor. So I will start here first, and look for more leaks.

I did not install a new water pump temp sensor, just transferred over from the old pump. Should it have a crush washer type seal? There was no washer in the old pump, I just cleaned the surface and put it on. Looking at the OEM diagram it doesn’t show a washer, out looking up the part at the parts sites I noticed a washer on one. Can someone shed some light on this for me? Need to seal it up properly and move on to the next leak, that is if this isn’t my lucky fix.

Here are some pics of what I’m looking at:
