Thanks Beav. Good advice. Yup on the >50K. Al fluids where changed at ~40K miles sometime a year ago or there 'bouts. I may get some flack, but I think I will press them on the change out for the water pump. I'd sleep better at night and I'm in this for the LONG haul. I can't image (and don't want to) what I'll do when that time comes that I have to repl..... OH I CAN'T THINK OF IT!

I checked my oil last night and it seems the leak is not terrible. So far I'm only slightly below the "F" line. I think I will wait till after the holidays to take it in.

I especially do not enjoy the prospect of removing pullies, as you mentioned. They are too easy to ruin without the right tools. I'll definitely let the pros do this one.
