Unless you know the tensioner has been replaced, it's due too. Wisdom on this BB says they're good for 150k - Volvo shortchanged me, mine went at 149. Adds maybe ten extra minutes to the timing belt/seals job plus $27-$40 depending on who you source the unit from. I got a Febi-Bilstein tensioner from IPD for the higher price.

The splash guard is a big bowl that can collect coolant leaking from any one of many places and pool it under the engine front. Remove it, get under there, and have a good look around with a small bright flashlight. Could be the pump, could be as simple as a loose hose clamp (we hope).
