bad luck, water woes

so I just put in my brand new champion radiator e fans combo, which is awsome btw, and no leaks :-).

drive it for two days and now I got water pissing out the weep hole in the brand new water pump I put on less than two months ago. :-(!!!

has anyone else have problems with their water pump after removing their mechanical fan and running e fans?

that's the only thing I can think of??? the pump doesn't know what kind of radiator is in front if it.

thoughts...

Its a possibility the water pump could be default and went bad . Do you have a warranty on it.

Only thing i can think of is could the waterpump bearing seal have been stressed from torquing the fan clutch off? Probably just bad luck and a defective waterpump tho.
