Engine!?

So I have this tiny problem with my water pump....

I got this truck and it did not move for 2 plus years, when I got it decided to replace the water pump, all the bolts that go into the block were stripped out. there for I tapped new holes and put new bolts in place. however I keep on getting leaks on the passenger side of the block (upper radiator house) comes out of. what can I do to fix this problem permanetly?

As said check for any cracks.

Also did you use pipe dope on the water pump bolts?

Pipe dope is like putty that is put on plumbing fittings to stop leaks from happening. You could also use teflon tape on the threads of the fitting.
