How tight should the water pump be attached?

Ahoy!

I am replacing the ancient sherwood water pump with a MMI water pump. How tight should the bolts be that attach the pump to the engine? The old bolts were not very tight at all. But, I also strongly suspected the water pump was leaking oil. (Something in that area definitely is). Initially I assumed it was due to the internal oil seal failing and leaking out of the weep hole. But now I am also considering the possibility that it was just not bolted on tight enough. I do have a torque wrench -- but it is probably too big to fit in the work area.

Also, does it matter which way the gasket faces? One side has writing, the other side does not.

In case it is not obvious, I am new to engine repair
