Welp There goes my Water Pump..

I was at work the other day and i happoned to look under my car just to find my water pump leaking right behind the pulley at a pretty steady drip... so i figure my pump is on its way out.. I Tried taking it apart yesterday only to get stuck on the part where i had to take the cam gear cover off.. I rung off one of the bolts that held on the cover so i just put it all back together hopeing nothing will come out of that hole.. but anyway thats where i am at this time and i was wondering if anyone else has done this and some tips maybe if i go back and try it again...

From memory when I replaced my pump and belt.
Jack it up, take off passenger side wheel, remove plastic protective covers, take off belts to auxiliry units, may need to remove crankshaft pulley (dont remember) take off timing belt lower & upper cover, apx 6 bolts on lower and apx 8 on upper.

Pump is attached with 6 bolts, may be smart to empty the coolant before removing the pump to minimize spill on the timing belt, or just replace it as well because you have removed everything needed to replace it.
Clean up around the hole, new liquid gasket applied when everything has been dried up, install new pump.
