I gotta leak

ok so i just replaced the water pump on my 92 camaro and know water leaks from a hole just below the left water pump gasket. I don't know what the hole is there for. But water pours out of it. Could one of the gaskets have slip out of position?

Yes that is possible.

It's also possible that you didn't put sealer on the threads of that lower bolt, which goes RIGHT DIRECTLY INTO the water jacket, and will leak severely if not sealed.

...and that bolt could rust, causing lots of fun problems later.
