Sorry for getting you off track. That is my fault. How bad is the leak? Frankly, if it is like a couple of drips per hour I would say live with it if you don't feel like an overhaul. I certainly would not recommend a seal change unless you are experienced since it could be a number of seals and the reasons I previously posted.
If you are looking at a spray type leak I would fix it now. If the hydro is atomizing in the engine bay you are asking for a fire.
Otherwise just keep an extra Qt of fluid with you and don't forget to keep her full.
You may also want to look into some type of additive/ seal conditioner you can add to the system to try and fix the problem. Just make sure it is compatable with the fluid you are using. Which brings me to my next question- What type of fluid are you using? Some fluids can help or hinder a leaky system.
