I don't even know where to start on that one. Probably first with a new mechanic. I, a rank amateur, could do that job ( new front seals, t-belt, tensioner,water pump seals) in about 4 hours, easy. With time left for a cold drink. The cost of parts are about $3 each for the cam and intermediate seals, $4 for the crank seal, $6.50 t-belt, $25 tensioner, $6 water pump gasket set, total parts around $50. Total labour should be a lot less than $500. A lot.
You shouldn't put it off too long.The worse thing it will do is that the oil will swell the rubber seal on the top of the water pump, and cause a major leak.
