Does it appear to be leaking out of the weep hole (behind the pully, on the bottom)? Clean the area then run the car for a while to check the source of the leak.

That's it! You probably blew a gasket but that's an easy fix. Be sure to use silicone on the gasket .

Actually RTV is silicone.
I use the copper RTV since it doesn't harden , dries quick, and has high temp resistant.
Let it set a couple minutes then tighten it down.
Don't over torque it and tighten in sequence.
Always use a torque wrench when you can .
