Coolant leak and water pump

Hi,
I am having the water pump replaced tomorrow due to a leak. Anything else I should ask them to do while they are in there? I understand it is a major job with lots of stuff removed to get to the pump but the shop indicated that no other wear parts are along that route.
Thanks,
2004 Aero, 140000 miles.
For those interested, here is a description of the symptoms: The warning light for low coolant level went off when I started the car. No puddle under the car (I always check :-) but the level was about 1.5 inch below the low fill line. I filled it up and drove to work (15 min), checked under the car and lots of drops came from the right side of the back of the motor. The dripping stopped after a while. I guess it is only leaking when there is pressure in the system. In the mornings, or after work, the dripping has stopped since long and the puddle has evaporated, that’s why I did not pick it up immediately. The shop had to pressurize the system to find the source for leaking coolant.
