I'm with Bill on the plastic hose coupler located in the "aquarium". These can be replaced with the brass barb hose couplers sourced from Fastenall. Another potential leak: the water pump housing to engine block interface has an "O" ring which does, eventually, give up the ghost. This leak is not so easily seen. It is located on the front "face" of the engine block. There is also the throttle body pipe (provides flow to throttle body and one other thing) which circles around the back of the engine and "plugs" into the water pump housing (not the replacable part of the pump but the other side of the "housing". This connection also uses an "O" ring. This leak is also hard to detect and is not addressed when replacing the "pump".
