Serious Water problem. 900

Having recently aquired a 960, I'm currently working through it's various problems- the car had been running on pure water, so I changed this for a 50/50 antifreeze mix, and it's developed a leak. This appears to come from the cambelt plastic housing, viewing the engine from the radiator end its coming out of the lower left hand side of the housing, once the system gets up to pressure. Without a manual, I'm guessing its the water pump? Can anyone advise on how to remove the plastic housing- does the auxilary belt have to come off? And then, if its the water pump (driven by the cambelt perhaps), I imagine the cambelt has to come off. I've changed cambelts on simpler cars-what's a 960 like? I'm aware that there may be alignment marks, and the re tensioning is important. (I remember reading that antifreeze has a tendency to find leaks- this feels like a rather cruel example). All help apreciated.
