If it leaks on the Nose of the Pump( where the shaft is) and coolant is seeping out that Little Weep hole( manufacturer drills a little hole on it) then YES,it is Telling you to Replace it.
Now,If you are leaking On the gasket part of the Waterpump,or on the bolt areas,then I would be checking the mating surfaces of the Pump and the Housing to make sure that you have a Flat Contact surface.
I beieve that 2 of the Bolts go through the Housing,(long Bolts),.You could try a dab of Sealant on the Bolt when you install it.

Do yourself a favor and call up Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda and get an OEM reman (forum vendor with great price). Don't buy a crappy autozone reman, I just had one fail on my dad's Corolla. The OEM reman is not that expensive with his discount. It's maybe $10 more than buying a parts store one after you mail in your core. (866) 496-3613 ask for Mazda parts and then Ray Crowe, M-F 8-4PM Eastern
