I would get some brake cleaner and spray the area under the water pump to get it really clean so you can see/feel/paper towel if the pump is weeping.
Make sure the A/C shut off switch in the upper hose to the thermostat is not leaking and tight. The fiber gasket in the temp switch goes every so often. The short bypass hose under the thermostat sometimes gets pinhole leaks, check that.
Snug up the hose clamps to the heater valve and back of water pump(pita). Take a peak into left speaker hole to see if heater valve is all crusty from a slight leak.
i think you have correctly ruled out headgasket problems...at least for awhile!!
