there should be an o-ring at the back never had 1 leak, you can always put a bit of silicon around the pipe. just make sure it is dry might be a pain to get off later though

did you fit the water pump yourself? or did you get someone to do it? If you did it yourself, you should have replaced the O-ring at the back of it...they always need to be replaced once removed.

If someone else did it for you, tell them to do their job right and fix the problem for you.
