Cork is more for oil based sealing. For coolant the gray paper works fine. That is what most water pumps come with from the parts stores. You can sometimes get away with just using RTV but it's better to have an actual gasket with a little RTV to fill imperfections.

Broken bolts suck...
I've had a lot of luck with "right stuff" from Autozone. I've used it on my oil pan and every other sealing surface and I have yet to have any problems. No leaks whatsoever.
