Update. I ended up removing engine mount bolts and lifting the engine to gain access to the 2 bottom water pump cover bolts. It was a bit of a project but I was able to replace the water pump cover gasket and I have a couple hundred miles on since repair and no leaks. With all the bends in the cooling hose it Has to be installed just right for the hose not to rub on anything. The coolant hose has a white mark on it to give you a proper orientation on the coolant bottle I don’t know if that was my problem that it was not aligned properly but with the new hose and index Mark lined up properly on the coolant bottle I have no issues with the new coolant hose rubbing on anything.
