penta 1993 434a v6 leaking seawater pump advice please

[win-or-bin]

Hi all (again!)
Another small teething problem with my boat! Had the boat out yesterday for a good few hours, while running slow I decieded to check on the engine so opened the hatch while running a noticed a drip coming from behind the impeller housing (replaced impeller last month for new season) It is not a lot of water just a very slow drip ever now and again. After searching on here it would seem it is a leaking seawater pump, my question is how urgent a fix is it?, do I need the whole pump $$ or is it just a seal at the back of it? Cant seem to find an exploded view of the pump.
Thanks in advance
Seumus

Thanks, thats great, looking at the exploded view of the pump (seawater pump 857451) it seems there is a sealing ring, would replacing this not solve my problems rather than buy the whole pump as my parts guy wants me to do!! Any advice would be great
Thanks
