There is a possibility of weep between the two halves of the pump or where the pump enters the block. Cost of the pump is about $100 USd, IIRC. The gasket/seal into the block could be just a couple dollars if that is all it is. To do it you drain the cooling system (just pull the hose), remove the serp belt, pull the PS pump out of the way, then remove the water pump hoses and the pump itself. Probably a 4 hour job the first time you do it.
