Welcome to TFP! 
Hard to be sure from the pic if the leak originates near the connection point between the pot and motor (seal plate) or if the drop is coming from inside the motor casing. If it's the seal plate, it may be as simple as replacing the seal plate gasket as noted as item #9b HERE. If the drip is from inside the motor casing on the dry side, it's probably the shaft seal seen as item #16 on that same illustration. Hold old is this pump?

Pump housing is very old. I'm not sure how old the motor is to be honest.
