It would be wise to change the water pump, timing belt, and tensioner while your in there anyway... at least I would... plus they come in a kit together anyway....

I dunno, i can't make out anything other than a puddle of anti-freeze....

This guy from another message board was dynoing his brand new motor, and the tensioner broke on the dyno, and grenaded his virgin motor. Better safe than sorry.

I have worked in honda service for over 2 years and during a timing belt/water pump service i have yet to see them throw in a tensioner. Did you change the seal on the water pump?? If i were you i would just put the new pump and t-belt on and not worry about it for another 90k
