Make, model, year, and engine info would be of interest to folks trying to help you.
Generically speaking, let me throw a few thoughts your way:
Gasket tore during assembly Gasket moved out of position during assembly Bolts not tightened per torque specification Replacement pump is the wrong one for your vehicle Replacement pump is defective A nearby hose clamp is loose Something didn't get reinstalled during assembly
Agree with SS's post. Did you compare the pumps (new and old) prior to installation? Did you use silicone or gorilla snot to attach the gasket to the pump? Send a URL of the pic. If you don't have a webhost, email it to me and I'll host the pic for you.
Sealant, my man. You gotta do it over!
