That's an unusual one. Never heard of a Tenere water pump/seal letting go before. If you get a chance somewhere to drop your forks down and regrease your steering bearings, take it. They are bone dry from factory. It'll take you an hour and save you a lot of ball ache in the long run when they seize up in the middle of no where.
