I did a WP a few years back on by 2000S at 122K miles when I noticed a slight leak from the area. When I removed the carpet and panel to exposed the front of the motor, I started the car and could see a slight mist coming from the WP. During the removal, I noticed that one of the WP bolts in the area of the leak was loose. Given the the torque spec is 7 lb-ft, I wasn't sure if that was the issue or not, and given I had a new OEM pump and thermostat (and that this was the original WP) I when ahead with the replacement. Inspection of the original pump after removal showed a pump with no play in the bearing and the impeller looked like new.
Most likely was a loose fastener. Oh well.
