Waterpump gasket leaking
I just found a small leak, I thought it was the waterpump itself, but the gasket is leaking.
Because it is impossible to get a gasket here in Spain, I will make one of gasket paper. I saw in the manual (1984 CFI) that you have to take the AC compressor off, the smog pump, several brackets, the steering fluid container etc.
If there are tips to prevent me from disaster or to help me doing it better, please chime in. It will be highly appreciated.

Take lots of pictures before you pull apart, ask me why this is important. I left the lines hooked up to a/c compressor, just moved compressor out of the way when i unbolted it. Not a hard job just time consuming. As i remember there was a bolt on the a/c bracket that was a real pain, it was long and had to be removed back toward intake. New water pump didn't leak so must have lucked out. Just take you time. I cleaned all the stuff i took off so it took a little longer. Good luck.

Along with taking the pictures, follow the steps in this procedure. It is located in the C4 tech tips. Just ignore the timing chain portion. This got me real close on my water pump removal.
