As with any problem; never disregard a possible source for the leak
until you have checked it out.
I recently changed a water pump on a 92 Taurus. It leaked as soon as I
put fluid in the system, that should not have happened but the gasket
shifted slightly on install and caused the leak. Stuff happens, never just
assume very thing is right.

I'm interested in other ideas on where to look for problems. I have a Mk-I
and every gasket/seal (and everything else for that matter) was replaced as
part of the full restoration completed just 18 months ago. Sounds like the
the possible sources below don't apply.
