    Plan on replacing the pump as it is never the
gasket.  The pump is leaking internally through the
bearing and the seal and coming out through a small
hole in the pump just under the pump shaft.  Make sure
you get a new gasket with the new pump and hope, no
pray, that the bolts holding the old one on aren't
rusted.  Put anti-seize on the bolts when replacing
the new pump.
