Coolant leakage...from...? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This past weekend I replace the front main seal on my 1978 350 c10. All in all it went well no leaks at first when I fired her up last night but shortly I noticed coolant leaking off of the starter! It was dripping from somewhere on the passenger side of the engine and coming down to the starter and dripping off. The only thing I can think of are the two gaskets which looks dry. I just realized I did not put any sealer on the bolts when I reinstalled the water pump, but could this be coming from the weep hole? and why? I should also mention that there was a ton of rust pieces I cleaned out of the water pump when I pulled it off
Thanks
