I'd hate for you to go to the work of pulling the pump and find that the gasket was good - the seals were bad. Personally, I would suspect the seals over the gasket.

If it isn't pizzling badly (a technical term), I'd suggest living with it for a while until you get a bit deeper and generate a list of to-do chores.

Its dripping pretty steady. It looks like where the pump would seal against the block. Not sure about the seals. Can just the seals be replaced or need a new water pump? Do I have to remove the water pump to replace seals, will need new gasket anyways if so.
