John, I just retook off the cover and coated the heck out of it with RTV silicone everywhere I could see. Put it all back together, took it apart, checked the gasket, put it on, took it off, then felt great about the set and tightened it up. Turned on car and it started leaking front left right underneath the bottom left bolt in 20 seconds!

Tomorrow I will get some more RTV, dry the area all up, and force the heck out of it into that area and let it dry. The good news, is that waterpump works beautifully

and that was the hardest part of the whole job! LOL!
