As stated, retighten the entire group of bolts that secure the front cover to the block. Included are 4 long bolts that effectively secure the coolant passages from the pump to the front cover and the front cover to the block. After this you might consider using a small amount of cooling system stop leak, just don't go overboard; consider it insurance for future or present minor leaks. To visualize the passages you are attempting to seal, look at a bare block or a bare front cover, the bolts extent through the pump, through the front cover and into the block.
