Had a new water pump fitted to the RRC 3.5 V8 on carbs last year, and I’ve just noted that there is a small amount of water bubbling from the top, were the pump meets the block.

Is there any way I can plug the leak, or do I need to remove the pump and refit with a new gasket?

Cheers in advance

Silly question but are the bolts nipped up?
