Mine did that, it happened while on muffs and while it was at the mechanic shop. Same side, too. He back flushed the motor by removing the hose at the bottom and forcing water up in it.. Seemed to do the trick, but I still watch it. Just make sure you have a good telltale stream, always, but that shouldn]t be a problem if you changed the water pump, I guess.
