If you bought a cheap *** autozone reman take da' poop back and but a new one I put a reman on because it was 25.00 vs. 60.00 and had to redo it 3 days later because it was pissing out the weep hole

Without a doubt, you need to take care of any leaks but minor seepage out the weep hole will not make a car overheat.
Good chance your problem is elsewhere. Check the radiator, thermostat, fan, etc.
What conditions does it take to make it overheat. Does it run hot on the highway, idling, when?

more than likely a bad pump, you probably disturbed the timing cover gasket when you took the pump off, you probably didnt burp the cooling system properly.
try again, and take you time, do it right
