resealing/fixing leaks

ok, so the other day i noticed that the top of my water pump housing under the alternator. some coolant has risen.. so a weak seal.. so i need to reseal the water pump and water pump housing soon before anything else. i know this problem.

but i have another leak too, its major if i may say... its from behind the main pulley. i found the info i needed to fix it, but i'm afraid i might seize up my motor if i mess up too. so i want to know if anyone else has ran across this issue? also it says to replace with a new mazda part, but i was thinking... can i just use some gasket goo to make a new one?

i need help pronto, and some walkthroughs too!!
