If you take off the timing cover, you will still need to jack up the right side and remove the wheel to check the water pump. Just look for any weeping around the seal. When the hydraulic tensioner goes, it will leak fluid. That is rare at this mileage.
The biggest concern is the hydraulic rollers, just replace them to be on the safe side. Make sure the new belt is straight on all of the rollers after turning the engine over by hand a couple of times. Some Continental belts have been known to be off at the seam and ride over to one side 1/4 inch from the normal path.
I still like OEM parts...
