If coolant is still leaking out at the water pump it is probably 1 of 2 things. The weep hole seals are bad and allowing excess fluid to drain out there or it could be a bad water pump main bearing seal allowing fluid to leak out from behind the pulley on the water pump. Either way I would just change out the pump clean up the area real nice and use the black gasket maker silicone stuff on the new water pump gasket to make a good seal.
