Damn leaking waterpump, again. 700 1989

I can't believe this: After I had painstakingly reinstalled the waterpump to fix a pinched upper gasket, I thought everything was well. No leaks nothing. Took the car out for various long drives, and hey, all good, or so I thought.

Today, coolant started to leak out of the connection to the rear metal pipe. Seemingly, that gasket is pinched as well. Why it's only started to leak only now I have no idea.

Here's my question: would you think it's possible to change/refit that small gasket to that pipe without removing the whole water pump? [I don't have a spare paper gasket for the pump, and I am just tired of having to remove the whole waterpump all over again!]

When I installed the pump, I remember the pipe not having much give at all.

Lend me your thoughts.

Thanks
