So I replaced my water pump and it's still leaking from the front bold why?

 

what is a front *"bold"? mind you I am only a 30+ ASE Tech and don't know all the terms for parts yet.....

Well without sounding negative, you may missed replacing a seal or gasket that was needing replacement or incorrectly did the water pump replacement? *or

When ever you replace any parts on an engine it is a good idea to clean all around the area you will be working on first, survey other parts close to it for leaking damage or may be damage accidentally during replacement the target part.


*by bold if you meant "BOLT" then some bolts that secure in a water flowing area require sealer on the threads. You should always review any parts change with a good repair manual or better a Factory Service Manual or guide.

When I assign a labor service to any of my tech or mechanic's I always review the procedure (ALLData) to check for small thing that could be easily overlooked. Like head or water pump fasteners that need special attention.
