Replaced the water pump and it still leaks. Is there somehwere else it could be leaking from or is there something I should have done when replacing it?
Checked the radiator and hoses.
Thank you

Are you sure it is leaking from the water pump? Did you replace or dislodge the o-ring seal that seals the front of the pump(pulley side). The housing, or crossover, could be leaking. That usually is most common on the rear though.
