Yea wait until it fails and they'll be only too happy to help relieve you of mega $$$$ replacing the head/s or engine. Makes much more sense to them than doing a low $$$ water pump replacement before failure.
I was fortunate because I noticed the small leak from the "telltale" and had it done under my expiring CPO. At and around that time I remember reading three or four postings from those who had sudden catastrophic failure (around the 35K to 60K miles range) on the highway and the results were not pretty.
