It's still dripping from the bottom of the pump. DAMN. Gonna run it for a week or two and see if it gets worse. Then I'll most likely have Jack Demmer Mercury in Dearborn flush the system and fix the pump for me, only about $500.00. I think I'll get the whole pump, tensioner and hoses for that price. 
If you did not replace the bolts with new ones when you replaced the WP, that could be the problem. While most on this site state that it is not necessary to replace the bolts when doing the R and R (and do not have problems with their WP R and R), Ford's specific instructions on the CD Manual are to replace the bolts as they are torque-to-yield.
