Oil leak from water pump

Oil leak from water pump
I thought I would post this here as well as the ER-6n forum since it is the same engine and there's likely more Ninja owners than ER-6n owners.
I picked up a basically brand new '09 ER-6n a few weeks ago. Only 30 miles on it!. I got it from a local shop. I noticed as I'm putting in the break in miles (300 on it now) a small oil leak on the bottom right. Did some troubleshooting (Clean, ride, check) and found it is coming from the water pump weep hole.... Not sure if just one of the seals went bad from sitting for so long. Has anyone dealt with this before? Do you think I can just replace the rubber parts or should I do the Mechanical seal as well? Just because the mechanical seal is a press fit and will add some headache for me.
Thanks,
Travis
