Mine lasted 200,000 miles before I changed it out before a big trip.

I would change it. Mine start leaking at 65,000 miles. An easy replacement item, 2 bolts and that is it.

I would leave it. It is very easy to do... Mine failed at about 75k, but it's probably my fault...

If daily driving, and I didn't see anything coming from the weep hole, maybe wait. If going on the road, for the $55 it cost to replace, it I would just for the piece of mind. BTW if you get one at Autozone it has a lifetime warranty and because it is new & not rebuilt you don't have to worry about dealing with a core charge.
