Interesting, first time I have heard about water pump bolts being loose.  I 
have had no problem with them over my 8 years of flying with a rotary. 
Perhaps its because they are flying backwards?  (Joke, couldn't help it).

While this could certainly result in a serious condition - I guess its of 
some comfort to know you can loose all three short bolts and not have a 
catastrophic coolant failure.
