Small water leak after cam install... I got my cam installed over the weekend and everything is great except I am getting a little bit of anti-freeze on the carport after the car sits a while. No over temp problems and I can't even see that the radiator has lost any coolant. I did see a little drop come out of the right side of the water pump where it mates to the block after I watched it at idle for over 15 minutes. Seems to drip more after the car is turned off. I torqued the bolts as directed, 11lbs and then to 22lbs. Any ideas? I did reuse the gaskets being the car is a 99 and I was told I could do that. Thanks.
