Check the hoses around the pump. They can look like a pump leak.

What engine do you have first of all? Because if it's the straight 6, the timing cover isn't by the water pump lol

Check the longer bolts on pump.. They run into the water passages where they go into the block. I usally put some teflon tape on threads when I install them. And smear little anti sieze on smooth part of bolts. That helps with those bolts from getting stuck in timimg chain cover.
