Yep, as I said the other day, I did the water pump while in there, doing the oil leak at the oil filter mount. I have done at least 5 water pumps in these 4 cyl engines, and I thought I knew all the tricks....
What I find is coolant below engine, maybe an egg-cup full after each 10 mile drive. I hate to go in there again without being prepared. So give me your best tips.

I have an electric fan, and despite revving engine while fan is not spinning (so I have the chance of seeing any small squirts) I canīt see any leak. There might be a small trickle at the bottom of the pump, but canīt really see because of cam belt cover blocking visual inspection.

I cleaned away old gasket thoroughly. Put in new gasket in the right way. Applied pressure upwards on pump while tightening bolts; there seems to be no leak from the big or the small rubber seal.

Tips, before I go in there again, please!

Thanks in advance
