Pull the pump and check for defective parts. Roll it over and check for a bad bearing. I would check exactly what you need and the cost of parts.
You can purchase a used one at a yard or a rebuilt unit at a parts store.
Make sure it isn't a cracked fitting from the high pressure hose. A lot of them have a plastic cover that cracks or the o-ring can leak.
