I've learned through hard experience that permatex and o-rings do not make good company.
Use instead on the cleaned and prepped surfaces a very thin coating of silicone grease. (NAPA part # 765-1351) Apply only enough to make the surface look wet with no blobs or buildup.
I've used that method for 20 years now and nothing ever leaks for years afterward. YEARS.

The lower hose flange is removable from the water pump and it is sealed with a skinny little o-ring that sprang a leak a while back. Fixed that, hmmm, about three years ago now, I think.
