I have a coolant leak that appears to be coming from the region of the water pump. It's a drip, drip, drip sort of leak.

Before I tear into a timing belt/water pump replacement, what do you guys think? Is the water pump my culprit?

I'm guessing the answer is "yes" since the car has 111K miles on it and I skipped the water pump replacement when I last did the timing belt.
However, if there is some other possible culprit that I should look for, one that might be a whole lot easier to repair, please throw your suggestions at me!

Also, if I decide to go ahead with the timing belt/water pump project, should I assume that my car's mileage indicates that I should go ahead and do the camshaft and crankshaft seals while I'm in there?
