Water Pump Leak?

been hearing a quiet sort of irregular noise from the belts area for awhile; i had replaced a pulley that was whining a few months back and then noticed there was still another noise...
this morning i was quite aware of it and thought i smelled a faint odor of coolant after shutting off the car.
i opened the hood and i could see a small bit of liquid on the frame below the water pump and what looked like a straight wet line, as if from spray, directly below the water pump pulley on the frame.
is it logical to assume the water pump is starting to leak at the pulley and the drip is getting sprayed onto the frame below, some of which gathers in a little puddle so it looks like a wet drip?
only thing is, I had the water pump replaced with my headgasket in may 2005, and 3 years (maybe 25K ago...) seems a short life for a new OEM Saab water pump.
these things don't have decent warranties do they?
looking at it, replacement seems fairly straightforward, correct? pulley comes off with a few bolts, and I'd have to remove the AC compressor...?
