If it's leaking change it ASAP before it leaks on and kills your opti!

It not hard to do, you just need to be real careful that you drain all the coolant and cover the opti with allot of plastic to keep it dry.

Drain the radiator. If you can, jack the back of the car as high as you can to get as much coolant out of the block as possible.

It's just like any SBC, Just remember that the bolts on the WP go into the water jackets of the block so when you remove them coolant will pour out.
A small funnel to catch and redirect the coolant is very helpfull.

Also remember to put sealant on the bolts before you reinstall.
