580k front hydraulic pump

James 580K Phase III
I have not got it apart yet.
There is fluid coming down from the above
onto the top of front axle, then running down.
The pump and hoses are dry.
It seems to be coming from the coupler well.
Cannot see or feel into that area to easy.
Seems to get worse if you work it hard.
It must be the front pump seal.
I see in the parts break down there is a seal listed.
Is this part easily replaceable?
Any better ideas?
Is this just a sign of time for a replacement pump?

AJ It more than likely that it's the seal on the imput shaft thats leaking,to replace the seal the pump has to come off and be dismantled,the seal does fit in from the front but there is a bearing outside it that has to be removed to get to the seal,before opening the pump scribe a match mark that will not come off on one side so all the sections will get put back in the same place and looking in the same direction as they are in,replace the bearing and the other seals.
