Water pump leak

I put a new water pump on my Super M with Char-Lynn power steering and the pump leaks from the fan shaft. I have tightened the water pump packing nut but the nut seems to loosen and leak after running the engine. With the power steering I have to remove the radiator to re-tighten the packing nut. The pump is new so I assume the packing is good. What do you think about using Loctite thread locker on the packing nut?
 
Thank you, Cuby. With the radiator off but coolant still in the engine, I tightened the packing nut by hand and the leaking stopped, suggesting there is packing. Just got everything back together this weekend using Loctite on the packing nut. I'll let you know the result.
