Keep an eye on the coolant level. You mention that the reservoir has already run dry once- has the car overheated yet? If it does overheat, you are running the risk of multiplying the cost of repairs. A water pump costs a small fraction of the cost of replacing a head gasket, or even worse- the cylinder head itself.
Replacing a water pump isn't terribly difficult, or expensive. Years ago, I helped a friend replace one on his '87 900S, and I think it took us two hours or so (with frequent breaks for playing with his dog, and drinking a few beers.) Neither of us had done it before, and the most difficult part was getting the A/C compressor out of the way. 2nd most difficult part was cleaning the gasket mating surface.
