Small leak from pump

[Nate1975]

I have a small leak coming from underneath my pump. Any ideas on where I should start to fix would be appreciated. Pics attached.

While it could be the seal plate O-ring, it's very likely to be the shaft seal. See items 6 & 7 on the parts diagram below. DIY if you are handy. Shop for what is referred to as a "Go-Kit" for that make/model pump and it should have everything in one set.
