Slippage

Ya,
I asked that in another place. Can the water pump slip? I realize that cam pullies are toothed, but what about the water pump. Looking VERY carefully I see no outward signs of leaks around the cam seals. The pass side one has a slight 'stain' along it's outer edge. The driver's side looks clean. Any oil leak would show up easy. It must be under the cover.

I've got drips from the bolt 'protrutions' at the bottom of the timing belt cover. Then spray from there back. The oil pan looks clean up near it's seal. I was hoping for a simple bolt tightning.

If I take the cover off are there bolts that I can tighten, or am I just wasting my time?

I'm not sure I'm experienced enough to up to try to re-seal a cover. I KNOW I'm not for removing the timing belt.

I suppose at 63K I could just bite the bullet and have a new belt put on, water pump, and fix the leak.

Jezz... it seems awfully early for such things to be happening.
