So the way I understand it is that you went ahead for them to replace the o-rings only at the rear of the water pump?
It's a tough call and yes, the water pumps are always weeping a little bit from the shaft seal so it is not difficult to show a leak even on yours. If it would stay weeping like that for another long time or start to leak a lot sooner is impossible to say. But I can bet my behind that if I would have suggested to do ONLY the o-rings, that water pump would have taken a dump in short order and when the customer was on a long trip somewhere.
In hindsight yes, topping off and wait could have been a good way to go.
