Not necessarily. You could have put a longer bolt in where a shorter bolt was before you replaced the water pump, and cracked the timing case cover. Before going to a new problem make sure you did not create this one. We all make mistakes learn from it and you will be a better person, deny it and you may end up spending more money and regretting it later.
