#201974 It will leak out of the weep holes to tell you that it's bad.

I would recommend replacing the timing belt and tensioner since the labor is the same.

#202154 Yeah it's not the seal that's leaking. It's leaking through the shaft itself. That's what the weep holes were designed for.

So to summarize this thread. Change the water pump, timing belt, and tensioner, and don't forget the water pump! LOL.
