I used a big glob of clear silicone gasket sealer. Did the job once and went easy on the sealer. It started leaking again. The second time I globbed it on good.

Another thing I do is replace the water pump every time I pull the front off of the motor. If I'm sealing up leaks and get to the front of the block, I dont want to have to do it again because I cheaped out and didnt replace the pump.
