im assuming you put a new gasket on?

and wrong section by the way

did you clean the mating surfaces? did you tighten it enough? gotta have more infor man.

did you put thread sealant on the 4 large bolts? they go right into the water jacket of the block and will leak if not sealed.
and the matting surfaces need to be clean, like scrapped down with a razor blade clean, no old gasket material can be left on.
i put my new water pump gasket on dry, no rtv at all and its holding fine.

^^same, but i also didnt put thread sealent on and its also not leaking.

my bolts came out all gunked up from the old sealant, so i cleaned mine up and resealed them. better safe than doing it 2 times.
