+1.

And add to that the fact that your car is now 7 yrs old ("getting on in years"). I've read more a few posts on this forum about cars in the ~50k range with pumps going bad. Thankfully replacement isn't that involved or costly, esp. if it's DIY. I'm not highly skilled and was able to do it pretty easily.
