Jason, I would replace it quick. I don't think you will have that many miles B 4 it starts to leak or the bearings seize up and then you will loose the alternator because of the belt.

How long have I got? I noticed a whirring noise (like a bearing is starting to fail) coming from the engine. I removed the belts to check things, and found that if I turn the water pump by hand it squeaks a bit. I'm assuming thats a bad sign and that its time for a new water pump.
