    I did not apply sealant to the plate or the base of the water pump housing. I will try that. There is no evidence of old sealant there.

    I am confident that the water tubes are properly seated and that the tubes themselves are in excellent condition. I have had the lower unit of repeatedly trying to sort this out and have been very careful with tube alignment each time. The water tube grommets are new (top and bottom of the supply and return tubes) and are nice, soft rubber. I believe that they are sealing well.
