Ordered new WP and TB parts list yesterday. I now have some spare time to focus on the other 'to do' items... I might as well get to it and make it a nicer car alltogether.

Hi again, I went in for a sneak preview. Besides a leaking crankcase breather hose, this is what I found. I disassembled some things and looked behind the centre timing belt cover. Sre enough there is play in the water pump roller and it is leaking.
But I also could see the tensioner roller sitting at an odd angle. It is not perpendicular to the accessory belt pulleys.
Is this normal?
Time for some more dismantling this week.

Looks like it's missing the washer behind the crank gear.

my thought was that the pivot bolt is bent and or both of the pivot bushings are worn or a combination of both,
thus the tensioner roller is rubbing or about to rub on the rearside of the crank damper, and the belt has lost its tension.

Part 6. Sean is surmising that could explain why the belt seems to be riding so far back. Without the "flange" behind the crank gear, the belt can migrate rearward. These flanges and the water pump pulley's flanges largely determine the track of the belt, although any canting angle of the tensioner roller (normally not canted unless tensioner arm bushings are worn or the arm mount shoulder bolt used on some years is bent) can have an effect within the limits of these flanges, as Stan is suggesting.
