You have two gaskets. A gasket between your water pump and water pump backing plate and between the backing plate and timing cover. Each gasket is $1.99. Timing cover gasket is felpro 35211 and depending on which water pump felpro35066, most are universal. Requires removal of water pump.

Now I am postive KC used gaskets and sealant, this is a problamtic area on these engines. I have done about 8 and never had a leaker, I use gaskets and Permatex ultra grey gasket maker, yes gaskets and gasket maker no gasket shellac.

Call Keith but the solution may be as easy as $1.99 bottle of bars leak. Even if the pump were not leaking I am a proponet of a 4 cylinder dose just to catch any threaded fasteners which may tie into water jackets.

Common problem, solution depends on your skill level.
