I would just buy a stock water pump.

Where is it leaking from? The oil pan gasket?

You didnt remove that metal piece above the filter to put your headers back in and forgot to put it back on did you?

I had the same issue, I ended up breaking the gasket somehow by dropping the pan a bit. I had to replace it
