On the earlier 582s, some of the water pump bolts holes penetrated
through to the water housing, so the gasket would be in effective in
sealing leakage around the bolt.
It would be worth checking whether your water pump bolt holes bottom
-out in the casting or go through in to the water gallery.

Subject: RotaxEngines-List: 582 Water pump housing ?
Does anyone have experience with a leaking gasket under the water pump
housing on a Model 99 DCDI 582 (Blue head) ?
I have a leaking gasket that was replaced with a new one, (the old one
started leaking after I switched to DexCool from Prestone) and is
torque to specs 70 ip and it is still leaking. Nothing anywhere said to
use gasket sealer or any silicon so the gasket was replaced without any.
The leak is under the front lower bolt and the rear lower bolt (the
engine is sitting with the head upright) and is leaking only in
drops-at-a-time. The water temp is also high (and always has been)
around 180-185F.
Should I use a gasket or silicon material on the gasket and replace
it? Any other ideas or experiences.
Baffled in Anchorage!
