Adam, I've been around quite a few that leak like that. Almost makes me wonder if they warp a little. Really nothing special you need to do to remove it, will be easier if you remove the exhaust manifold first. The gasket surfaces must be 100% perfectly clean and free of coolant or grease. That's the most critical step. After you remove the gasket, wipe the surfaces clean with brake cleaner. I've had very good luck using a hi-tack gasket sealer on gaskets that seal coolant. It's kind of dark in color, comes in a can, and you brush it on. I belive Loctite makes it, my local Deere dealer has it on the shelf. When you reinstall the water manifold, make sure to torque the nuts down as evenly as possible. Start at the center port, and work your way out. Torque each nut to 10 ft-lbs, start back at the center and torque each nut to 20 ft-lbs, and finish by starting back at the center and torquing each nut to 25 ft-lbs.
