There is a small plug on the left very bottom of the hpop, I have had a rash of these leak here latly. The plug o-ring is not servicable with the hpop o-ring kit. Ford says not to fix but to replace the pump or damage can occur. I replace the pump if its under warr. if customer pay I remove the pump, stand the pump on its end, remove the plug, locktite the plug and install a new o-ring, leak fixed and it saves the customer nearly 500 bucks. There is a checkball the plug retains and one must be carefull not to get it out of place, I'll bet your leak is from this, the plug has a 13 mm head on it and is visible when mounted on the engine, look just below the pump outlet fittings, its there and I'll bet its wet. Tracer dye will find it as well.
