<p>I dealt with the same leak when I changed my water pump a few years ago. Rather than using 2 O-rings, I turned a sleeve that fit on the crossover tube fitting and forced the O-ring down into the water pump and it worked great. I think I ended up making it about 1/8" thick. You could probably get the same effect by using washers if you can find some the right size.</p>
