For starters, unbolt the 2 10 MM screws that hold it in place. Without removing the bumper you MUST pull it out through the headlight hole. I've done it, but it takes some time. I suggest putting a microfiber towel or other guard on the bumper so you do not scratch it upon removal.

Have you switched out the bulbs at any point? There is a big white colored plastic piece that comes off the back of the head light. This is where you access the bulb from. You leak is probably coming from there, especially if you have changed the bulb. Bascially there is a rubber "o" ring that seals it up.

Very possible it's something else, but this would be the first thing I'd take a look at before going to all that work.
