Likely what is dripping is the pump seal. They can be pressed out and replaced, but you have to remove the pump. Or, you can replace the pump. Just a matter of economics.

I have since replaced the impeller, the impeller cover, the seal washer that goes on the inside of the impeller, the O ring and the hose that goes from the raw water pump to the heat exchanger. I also used a silicone sealant around the O ring before tightening the impeller cover plate. It still drips. :|
