I actually went through this exact thing and became very proficient at removing the transmission cover due to finding new leaks on my 82 aspencade. One of the places mine leaked oil from after the reinstall was the small o-ring on the pump. If the ring doesn't have perfect dimensions(which could vary bike to bike even though it shouldn't) then when you tighten the bolts down, it won't compress the o-ring to get a good seal. I coated this ring with silicone because I was frustrated on a sunday night and sure enough, it worked. Also, did you change the oil seal between the water pump and oil pump?
