If you install a new rear bushing be sure to buy the one with the seal in it. Also use the correct lead packing rings and be sure to smear a lot of grease around them when installing them. I always had a slow drip on my first water pump rebuild. After I added grease around the lead packing rings, it hasn't leaked a drop since.
