couple of notes. 1. Precisely where isthe water coming from. If it is coming from the back side of the "Packing Nut" then careflu tightening of the Nut might solve your problem. 2. If is is coming from between the threads and the casting of the Water Pump then you have other problems and complete rebuild is in order.

Secondly that looks like one of the low cost steel packing nuts - not a heavy cast - Brass or Zinc one. The thin stte ones are not even in the catalog anymore. Thin Steel packing nut is not original. This water pump has been rebuilt somewhere in its life. No big thing - just making observation. ken
