Help with a water pump housing leak
Hey guys, I noticed a coolant leak and traced it to the open port on the underside of the water pump:
It's pretty obvious even without the big yellow arrow
The FSM doesn't go into tons of detail about this, but looking at the diagrams I'm guessing it's a bad seal. I'm wondering if tension from the yoohoo belt could have caused this or maybe when I muscled the yoohoo belt on?
I looked on mazdatrix for a new seal but only found gaskets... any ideas?

Thanks DD... she sits all winter and has been on stands more than on wheels so that makes sense.
I had my boy help me get the pump off over the weekend and there's LOTS of resistance when trying to turn it too. New stuff on the way coming from Mazdatrix.
