Leaking "leakless" water pump

I have a leak less 8502-A in Snyders catalog, I've got just shy of 2,000 miles on it this summer and it's leaking a drop of coolant each second, I've treated the pump as prescribed by the manufacturer and am unimpressed.
Time to try one of Mitch's pumps!
 
Put mine all back together and now roller bearing in front screaming like a blower coming off revs, a shot WD40 on shaft quits it down but comes right back, sent away for new front bearing and will have to remove hood and pump again, what a royal pain in the behind. I recommend if it leaks buy a new one do not rebuild. New one is 130 at Mac's right now and I will be approaching that soon, plus I am no pro at rebuilding these so very likely I did something wrong during assembly. Have a stock pump? Keep it!
 
Was that a new bearing? If so what brand? I have never had a problem rebuilding the Ford pump is why I ask.
 
The bearing came with the new leakless pump (7 years old) as it has nothing to do with water I did not buy a new one, its possible I did something wrong during rebuild but new one came in today from Mac's.
