Default water leak in back of block by the water pump!!!

okay, i've tried a new gasket and everything for the waterpump but it continues to leak pretty fast(about 12oz every 30minutes). i can see it dripping but not the source, i can feel with my finger and its right at the bottom back part of the water pump. Where does water come from when the pumps bad, the weep hole location??? i have an b18a in there to let you know.

There's a weep hole there, that's where they usually leak.
