bad waterpump?

ok i bought a used meziere and put it on the car. ran for a week and half. been having problems of it leaking from weephole, then notice it had evened another hole on the side of the meziere. well with about a pint of coolant out it stopped leaking, but wheni filled it, it would start leaking again. so i just let it drip that lil bit out and was fine afterwards.

anyway i leave my house after lunch and notice temp was around 200 so i kept an eye and it just kept going up, so i shut it off. luckily i was only 2 blocks from the house. let it cool for 15 mintues, and headed back home.

got home from work took the meziere off. put the stock one back together. looked fine. sealed anything that looked it was sealed to begin with and put it back on the car.

as i was filling it up, about half full. i looked down and seen about a qtr size puddle. watched it for a sec and about 5 seconds it was dripping. jacked the car back up and what do u know the stock waterpump housing weephole is leaking!

could i have put it back together wrong? or is the stock waterpump bad as well? i hooked power ot the meziere while out of the housing and it just whined, the wheel didnt turn. so i am pretty sure that is shot!

so what do i need to do to fix this problem?
