It sounds like you put the inner water pump seal in backwards. I've seen it happen quite a few times with the symptoms you describe. If you look at the seal, there is a little spring wrapped around the seal surface on one side, and you can't see that from the other side. Well the spring side needs to be towards the water. So one goes in the opposite of the other one with the two springs facing each other....If you put the inner one in backwards, as soon as the cooling system builds a little pressure, coolant will push past the seal and into the engine. Hope that helps. YZ165
