In the right-hand corner of the V at the water pump end there is a gap through which standing water can drain. It discharges in the oil filter area often leading people to conclude that the pump is leaking. I suggest that you complete your plastic components renewal and keep that area under observation. It may be a secondary factor of your 'O' ring leak, as it was on my car.
