The leak may be coming from the fluid resevoir connection to the master cylinder. I'll bet your ace mechanic was leaning on the resevoir when he was working on the water pump and cracked the connection. See if it's wet under the resevoir or under the master cylinder. If so, your mechanic should replace the resevoir. You can replace the resevoir yourself, but it's hard to force the resevoir into the master cylinder. A good tech can do it in a few minutes, so there's not much labor involved. I don't know how much the resevoir is, but sobstory (a site sponsor) probably has them at the most reasonable price.
DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3. Use 4 or castrol LMA which says exceeds dot3/4.
