Do You Think My Water Pump Last!

After installing Pettit's Power Pulley and new belts over the winter I've develop a small coolant leak at start-up which quickly disappears as the engine warms up. The problem I believe is either the water pump bearings or the housing gasket (see pic) By the way, today did not leak at all, so I took the car for a quick wash and over to my local dealership for some spring maintenance plus check the deflection on the belts. My question is with this small a leak would the pump get me to DGRR and back without a failure.
I know I can pick-up a new pump for under $100 bucks stateside but would rather hold out for the Mazmart pump when I got a few more pennies in my pocket.
Thanks
The coolant seem to be coming from the weeping hole but not positive.

 

Sorry the title should read:
Do You Think My Water Pump Will Last!
Being a Canuck my enrlish is not very good, comprender
¿Crees que mi bomba de agua durará!

 

the question is.. How smart will you feel when the pump fails somewhere in the U.S and you have to hold up the people you are with while you scramble for a pump and tools and realize its 11 o clock at night and nothing is open

 

Change the thing....

 

Alright already, I'll swap it out before we leave, but I'll wait till tomorrow see what the stealership says and the mazmart pump will have to wait till the next time the pump F@#Ks up.

P.S. are any of you guys going to Al's BEMC lunchtime lapping for Sick Kid's Charity on Mother's Day at Mosport:

I like to see more 7's, why should the 8's have all the fun.

P.S. #2 Anyone have a waterpump and gasket hanging around, PM me we'll work something out!

 

I have an S5 waterpump gasket laying around here somewhere but im sure it's different

 

Ya,100% with Jim on this one.
Just think HOW you would feel when you KNOW that the Pump is leaking,then IT decides to GO,.and then you are out on the Interstate,,it is HOT,damn hot,you can't pull over,car overheats,,Engine Goes BOOM,..you only have enough Cash for the Rally,.Car gets taken to "butt farked Idaho" where the parts take 3 days to get there,,and the "Guy"..aka Mechanic has never seen a "contraption like that there".
there goes your Whole car,,Bye bye.
..are you convinced now?,,to change it??

 

threads like these make baby jesus cry
hahaha

 

Part order plus a new 02 sensor which also seem to be on it last legs as well. After working and spending lots of dough on her all winter, you'd think she'd just give me a break and let me just drive her! But no she keep asking for more of my time & money, that's why I call her the "Red *****"!

 

When you're done, You've Just begun....

 

Jim, I might start calling her my 92 money pit in your honour. And you don't have to say I told you so! I know big boys and their toys. Cash is king and what the wife does not know won't kill her or me as a matter of fact. at myself

 

You Should call it "The Mafia"...
because,JUST when you think you are Done....Ugh,,they Pull ya back in again!
Badda boom badda Bing!

 

You make me laugh. I normally don't carry alot of cash...unless I'm buying car parts for my funmobile.

 

^ Thanks guys for all the great comments!
Well after getting the cooling system flush and the belts at the proper tension she does not seem to be leaking anymore, but I'll bring the new water pump/gasket/sealer with me to DGRR just in case.
