    Flush it out and put some of the Penrite ATF 3 in it. Has some seal conditioners, cleaners, see how it goes that way first. Tighten the hoses as well and degrease to see exactly where the leak is coming from. Are you talking about on the rack of pump ? Weeping is normal on the rack, wet spots, and like i said, try the Penrite and see how you go. Main thing is to monitor level from resevoir.
