I have the same problem with my water pump. It seeps occasionally at the pump- head join. The reservoir doesn't completely empty though, it just sits at a low level. I keep a liter bottle of ready-to-use coolant in the car for top-up.

When I get around to it, I'll try thickening up the seal with an additional washer(garden hose?) to see if that works. (Pump is probably levered up as far as possible, though belts may be pulling it down a tad.) Maybe the pump and head metal expand and contract too much?
