ford transit 350 2.4 2001 model oil leak?

oil leak at vacuum pump, replaced pump and gasket and water pump gasket to block it looked ok but drove 10 miles and is leaking again is it possible the water pump could be cause as it appears to be leaking between gaskets

I pressed the pulley off the Vacuum pump and there is a seal and O ring it cost me $5.00 dollars for the parts, shaft had slight groove from old seal but light linish and with the new seal (double lip) this fixed the pump.
Seal 20 ID x 30 OD x 7mm
O Ring 31mm x 1.5mm cheers Terry Fullerton - Australia

Did you buy a new vaccum pump if not be very careful as i fitted a second hand one onetime and it seized and melted its insides plastic insides into the oil feed tube and almost emptied the engine of all its oil as well.
They can be a bit troublesome to seal at that gasket joint but stick with it use some good quality gasket sealent if stuck not silicone
