I'll second the post regarding the thermostat housing. I had leakage just as you described and it was coming from the T-stat housing. I replaced the gasket (which was new) and used some RTV, but it still leaked. Re-did it but first used some sand paper or emery cloth to make sure the surfaces were smooth. Worked the second time and no problems since.

That long bolt on the right hand side of the water pump needs to be tightened, same thing happened to me. It is the bolt going thru the pump housing, in my 1977 it even have a small triangle type of washer going with it.
