The water pump's leaking. I'm pretty mechanically inclined but I'm having problems figuring out how to replace the water pump. So far I've taken off the pulley, and am now confused to whats next. I've learned repeatedly to not take stuff apart that I don't know what I'm doing, and don't want to suffer this again.

Thanks,
A careful mantainer.
