Water pump leak

[OlFerguson]

My m100 is leaking between the water pump and engine block. I’ve replaced the seal between the 2. Any tips or tricks to get this thing to seal properly ? Thanks

I don't have one of those tractors, but in the absence of anyone else offering suggestions I would attempt to troubleshoot by asking myself some questions:
1. When did it start leaking... or what might have caused the original leak? As in did it start after someone did something to the water pump or the block in that area?
2. Did you follow the workshop manual instructions when you have worked on the engine? If not what did you do differently?
3. What was the condition of the sealing surfaces.
4. Photo/s of the leak could help.

So I’ve checked the water line hoses for the oil cooler and all the water pump hoses . I’ve also pulled the water pump and changed the seal on the back side. I’m still getting coolant dripping in these areas . See picture . I don’t see any leaks from the head. Help

Sorry you've had no progress. Answering the 4 questions above would help me, maybe others. No. 4 is asking for a photo of the leak, not roughly where it is on a new engine. So does that mean that you don't know where the fluid is actually emerging from? Until you discover that, I don't think I can be of any futher. Good luck, I hope others can help you.

Up on the front of the head there is a freeze plug that could be leaking
It could be a freeze plug in the block.
It could be the thermostat housing.
It could be the water pump itself, look under the bottom of the center section to see if there is a leak at the weep hole.
