leaking coolant

Hi all, been trying to find a leak in my cooling system and I think I may have found where its coming from. I just recently replaced the water pump and that is not leaking but the alloy spacer that sits just behind the water pump may be. Its about 5 cm thick and I cant see exactly where its leaking but where the coolant is leaking it can only be from there. I rechecked the water pump bolts and managed another 1/4 turn on each of them and I am hoping that will fix the problem. However if it does not have any of you had any experience changing the gasket on it. Any advice would be appreciated

I think I have the same problem leak behind water pump and my heater tap assy at plastic elbow also split had coolant every where. Backed the cap off and managed to drive home 400 Ks home after watching storm beat the doggys last nite
