My water pump went bad (bad bearings, very noisy) right around the time it's supposed to, or so I've been told is common for the mileage. I replaced it with a new pump (much quieter now), however, coolant still pours out of the weep holes on the new pump. I used a new gasket with rtv sealant and torqued the bolts to Honda's specifications of 108 inch pounds. I checked all my hoses and thermastat and they are fine and my radiater is new. What else am I missing and what can I do?

If it is leaking out the relief, the new pump is bad. Double check that there isn't a small piece of gasket left stuck on the block. Check the tube running along the back of the block, there is an o-ring on it where it goes into the waterpump housing.
