Joe,
If you're right there and have the serpentine belt off, spin the pulley by hand and gauge what it feels like.
You'll be able to feel a sketchy bearing quite easily.
Mine didn't leak either, but the pulley didn't spin very freely.
When I pulled the pump off, you could see the slightest bit if friction wear on the edges of the pump vanes as they were rubbing on the inside of the pump cavity.
