1997 jeep grand cherokee limited with a 5.2 liter v8 engine, I have a coolant leak just behind the water pump gasket on the passenger side, i have replaced the water pump and gasket, new radiator and thermostat. its not coming from the weep hole on the pump, gasket was installed correctly, you can get a very good look at the leak. i started the engine and its spraying out in a little stream and its getting all over everything and drippping all over, i was told it might be the timing cover gasket but that holds oil not coolant, could it be the mount you put the water pump on? do you have any idea what it might be? please help
 
I'm not positive, but some of those bolts may go through to a water jacket and require some sealant on them before they're reinstalled.
