Oil on the outside of the pump is not indicative of water in the oil.
Timing belt failure does no damage to the engine, it will just stop. You have a non interference engine.

Oil from a leaking cam seal or valve cover gasket will run down and appear on the water pump, it will soften the pump's top rubber O gasket and may eventually cause a water leak. Any of the 3 front seals and the rear main seal can leak due to excess crankcase pressure (commonly caused by clogged flame trap). They can also leak due to age and wear.

Sitting on a timing belt will not hurt, they a very robust.
