The problem is not the water pump itself, the special gasket which prevents water from entering into the oil is the big thing, since the piece Lamborghini delivers you doesn't fit!
We found the correct sealing in a washing machine (no joke!)...

Anyway the water should not run into the engine since the seal is guarded by a 1mm whole through the housing, before the water enters the oil circuit it will drain down the engine block under the pump. When you see these traces you have to change the seals.
