Default 08' Accord 2.3L Water Outlet Leaks

I have a 2008 Accord with 198,XXX miles. About 2,000 miles ago I noticed antifreeze on the ground under the car. I pressurized the system and diagnosed the problem as a crack in the water outlet. the local NAPA had one in stock so I RnR'd it. 3 weeks later I noticed coolant spots on the garage floor and found that the new water outlet had a pinhole in it. NAPA warranted it out and I replaced it again. Now, 2 weeks later, the replacement has a pinhole leak. Does anybody have any input on why this is happening? Any and all help is appreciated!!!

Problem suggests a manufacturing defect common to both replacement parts. Suggest an OEM replacement part.

good luck
