You want all fluids warmed up, not just the coolant.

Thanks for the tips. I will crawl around eventually but hope it's not the front seal on the pump. Tranny has to come out for that, right?
As for the warming up, I was doing it on the days when it was very cold outside and my kids complain that it's freezing. Letting it idle with the heater on low actually does help. When we get in, it's not as chilly.
