You could also have a "leakless" pump that doesn't take grease there
Les Andrews' book notes that the bushing has a grease hole, not a groove. (I did not do the engine rebuild so I am uncertain as to what type of water pump it is.)

Note that, with the original style grease fitting, I would get cooling fluid seeping out of the fitting.

Does the leakless pump have both a front and back grease fitting?
