do you mean your camshaft seal? and if so how much is it leaking? a steady stream or slight seepage? if it's leaving drips on the ground have it looked at for sure. if not it depends on the age of the vehicle if you even want to look at it or not

Is it possible for a water pump on a 1990 Honda accord ex to be leaking without needing to be replaced?

No, if it is leaking it needs to be replaced and replace immediately. The reason being is that the Water Pump in your Accord is driven by the Cam belt and so is the Balance Shaft. They are all driven by the same belt. If the water pump fails it can break the cam belt. As your engine is an interference engine, you will have serious engine damage if the cam belt breaks which will cost plenty to repair. The cam belt should be replaced every 90,000 miles. Ignore this and you may pay dearly for that. If the pump is leaking, replace it, and the cam belt at the same time.
