ARGH one thing after another PLS. HELP

Long story short some of you know IH8MUD now. Ok so I have coolant leakage and for sure we found where its leaking. From where the water pump and the t-stat meets. I bought new housing, gasket, o ring, and while I'm at it new t-stat. With all of that it is still LEAKING. So frustrating...can't find an answer anywhere.

IS it possible that the water pump has gone bad. If it's toast, it will leak fluid.

Try Stevencreek Toyota i have always been happy with them.i had the fender bulge -tsb brakes and front differential replaced under warranty. Talk to Kenny service manager he has been pretty cool with me.Toyota didn't want to replace the whole front differential. He called be and told me that they were because of the noise. I said there wasn't any noise.he said in a louder tone because of the noise you heard they are replacing it.i said oh yeah that noise:) good luck
