Question '93 Telstar TX/5 Ghia 2.5 V6 Water pump leak

Hi guys, I have been around for a fair while now but haven't posted anything to date as I have had a pretty good run with my TX/5 until lately.

The engine has sprung a water leak and as fast as I pour water into the filler it runs out just under the water pump.
At least that's where it looks like it is coming from. I confirmed this by using an inspection camera mainly because it can't be seen without one.

I am wondering if there is any easy way of getting into the water pump on one of these V6's? There isn't much room between the engine bay wall and the end of the engine where the pump is situated.

I have always done all of my own repairs, but this one looks like it might have to go to the shop unless one of you good people can advise me otherwise.
I look forward to hearing/reading your views on this.

P.S. Is there anywhere that I can download a workshop manual for this model Telstar TX/5? I believe it is the same engine as used in the '93 Mazda 626.

Cheers
Wayne
