Yes, I've been advised that rebuilding a water pump is a job for people who want to do that for a living, not owners.

I'm just trying to make sure the problem isn't some silly hose hidden behind the water pump. Or the gasket between the pump and the engine.

But it is looking like the pump's internal seals have failed.

If I do have to replace the water pump, what else do I need to buy besides the pump and gasket?

I had a new timing belt installed recently enough (only 45K on the new one) that I won't replace that again just yet — that's another $100+ I don't need to spend right now.
