I keep getting a tiny drop now and then from the water pump to backing plate, backing plate to block is fine. The drip is on the bottom of the pump just above the harmonic balancer, in between the two bolts that hold the backing plat on. Anybody know of a better gasket then the paper thin fel pro that squeeze out with anything over 5 ft-lbs of torque. I use ultrablack on both sides of the gasket. It seams to be fine for a couple months than the leak appears. As most know it is impossible to tighten the thin backing plate bolts once the water pump is on the car, if I could it would solve the problem. I am sure the gasket is relaxing overtime. I have ground on wrenches but just cant get one to work.

Thanks for any help
