Noticed evidence of water leak

Noticed evidence of water leaking out of the exhaust cover from a cover bolt. How much trouble is it to change out the 2 gaskets. Will I run into broken bolts etc. Should a loctite or anti sieze paste be used when re-installing the bolts. They are not very specific in the Seloc manual...only give torque pattern and bolt torque spec's. Thanks in advance for any info.
 
grease the bolts and you wont

grease the bolts and you wont have any issues i do this on all my new engines so i dont have these issues now how hard try not to break any they can be a hassle id try to get the bolt out normal and if that didnt work id start heating as far as gasket changes once its apart its fine scrap the surfaces really well id take a dermal and grind any corrosion away in the block

I would start by soaking the bolts in some sort of penetrating oil. I like kroil or pb buster they work pretty good.
