Sqeaky sound with smoke comin from timing belt cover..., I think it's coming from the water pump bearing Options

So I woke up this morning, feeling great and heading to a TRD meet looking for some supra action. Then I heard this sqeaky sound coming from under the hood. At first I tought it was a drivebelt slipping, but when the car came a little hotter, it didn't stop. I pulled over to have a look under that hood and noticed that a little smoke was coming out of the timing belt cover. I think it's coming from the water pump and that the bearing might be weared.

Has anyone of you guys experienced this before? What do you think about this and can I still drive it a little just to get to a good garage? Since I don't have time neither the tools to do it myself...

Thanks for looking!

Yeah, already have the Haynes manual, also have the friend and the threads, but time is missing! You think I could get all the parts for aprox. 100 bucks? That'd make my day! The thing about the labour cost is that I know a good mecanics who works for 40$/hr so it isn't so bad if he takes like 2.5hrs to do it... If only I can finaly reach him!

I'll try to get him tomorrow, or else I might take all tuesday long to do it by myself... Would a rebuilt pump do the job?

Thanks for your support guys
