looking for pics of how the water pump goes into the cylinder head on a b230e.. 700

I strongly suspect that you've got some pits in the undersurface of the head (the results of corrosion) and these are causing the leakage. Pictures won't help much. What you need is a smooth aluminium surface under the head. Start work with fine carbide paper and graduate to even finer paper to get that surface. If there are any pits, fill them with a stout epoxy. Then sand smooth, clean it off, and install the pump. Lube the top seal, and lever up as noted in the FAQ. That should do it. The only problem that might occur is if the epoxy in the pits fails.
