I saw white dry on bottom of guard under engine and I had to add a quart of coolant. I guessed that water pump is leaking so I drove around a bit to find leak when engine was hot. Coolant level must've got low, because needle started moving up above normal temp. Stopped at garage immediately and saw a bit of steamy smoke coming from fan pulley where pump is. can't tell if it's leaking through weep hole or somewhere else, but no coolant coming from anywhere else.

You should not need a timing chain replacement. Like I said earlier, I had 165,000 miles on my 4 banger with the original water pump. The chains are really durable unless they changed something in the later 2.4 liter engines. The water pump is really easy to replace on the 4 banger. How well is your cooling system maintained?
