Default 600 Sportsman coolant leak

I recently did the stator/coil upgrade and noticed some anti freeze leaking from one of the threaded bolt holes that hold on the stator/flywheel cover. The bolt hole is located on the side of the water pump. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing the leak? It seems like an odd place to have coolant leaking from. Thank you.

Could be o-ring around w/pump cover leaking OR is it leaking out of small hole on housing(w/pump seal)??

Default 600 Sportsman coolant leak

It's definately not leaking from the weep hole. I am having a hard time figuring out how the coolant could leak out of the bolt hole that is near the stator. Is there any type of seal between the water pump and the stator housing that I should be looking for? The bolt hole is located at about 3 o'clock on the bolt hole pattern that the stator cover bolts onto. Any ideas? Thanks.

There is a n o-ring around the water pump housing, if you have anti-freeze in the stator housing then its probably water pump seal .
