What should I do if my Ford Escape has a water pump weep hole leak?

[v8ismyheart]

So I noticed a bit of fluid coming from the weep hole on the water pump of my Escape. It’s not a lot, but I’ve heard it could be a sign of the water pump going bad. 😬 Should I get it replaced now, or is it safe to drive for a bit longer? Trying to avoid unnecessary repair costs, but don’t want to push my luck either.
