Water pump mechanical seal end of life?

Hi Folks,

Had a quick blast home from work on the motorway last week and noticed some coolant had sprayed onto the bash plate of my xtx. For a few days, I had some drips and sprays, never enough to be even close to the low mark on the coolant header tank. It then stopped leaking and hasn't since.
Is my mechanical seal on way out? Do these things have a habit of fixing themselves? Should I prepare to replace the seal (and maybe bearing whilst I'm at it). What else do I need? (Gaskets/ O-rings /etc).
Thanks
Brian
