I have a coolant leak on top of my waterpump of my f-80 1 FZ engine. Had a rebuilt engine 5,000 miles ago. Could it be from the thermostat bypass and the o rings need replacement? Water collects (slowly) even while car is unused.

Unlikely, since that bypass is on the side of the engine right above the T-Stat housing. Your waterpump of course, is on the front of the engine (just around the corner)....but I can't see the bypass being the source of that leak.
