Get under the car and look to isolate the area it is coming from. Check the fittings on all hoses in the area and insure they are tight. If it is still leaking around the water pump, either the pump is leaking at the main shaft or it is leaking around the gasket you installed. You may have to pull it again and replace the gasket or if it is the shaft, the whole pump.

Go to a place like Autozone and get the free loaner tool to check for leaks. It attaches to the radiator filler and you pump up the pressure to about 10 pounds only. Believe me, you will see exactly where the water is coming to in short order.
