Default Coolant leak location.......

While doing my stage 3 conversion we changed my timing belt, water pump, thermostat, etc. We got the motor back in the car and filled it up with fluids. I have a small drip coming from the screw behind the plate where the snub mount is located. Does this mean the seal was bad around the water pump? From what i've searched, that's a common location for coolant to leak when the pump fails. Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.
