Re: i gave you the wrong pump it was the water pump that...
There is a shaft seal in automotive water pumps that can fail. You will know if it's that seal because water will be dripping from the bottom of the water pump. If the water is not near the water pump, then look for a freeze plug that is leaking.

That is the engine oil cooler. Don't remove it if you don't have to! There are Orings that would need to be replaced and it has to be squeaky clean to get it to seal correctly. Pour hot water on the rad hoses or cut them off instead and replace.
Either you have made a mistake and do not have a proper gasket seal or the pump is bad. Chances are that if you just installed the pump that there is a gasket sealing problem not a malfuction of the actual pump itself.
when you refilled the cooling system did you put anti freeze back in it if not straight water is not sufficiant anti freeze is a lubricant for the water pump seals which could be the problemit is a must in these newer cars &trucks now it is not recommended it is demanded
If you are changing seals and water pumps that frequently then the problem is run out in the end of the shaft. Could be a bad balancer or bearing. This is a major overhaul, I am sorry.
A core plug may have blown out due to freezing. They are designed to do that to protect the block.

Where does the coolant drip from? I had one and only one Cad from this era with the same problem. Turned out to be the recovery bottle cap would let go under operating pressure even though it passed the pressure tester test. Just one of those things.
no, leaking water pump just means it is time to replace your pump. Not continue driving until you get around to it. replace it now. If it is not starting something esle is wrong. Unless you've over-heated the engine.
