Water pump leaking - Catalina 30 (universal M25)

Catalina 30 Seattle
Hi all: It's always something. Just installed a new starter and feel filter/water separator, yay! Now onto the water pump, when the engine is running it is dripping one drop per second. I have uploaded an image with an arrow showing exactly where the drips are coming from. I have a oberdorfer pump which I'm sure hasn't been replaced in decades. Any recommendations as to what might be the issue and what and were to get repayments, do we think I need to buy a new pump or just the kit - Water Pump Repair Kit Oberdorfer

Thank you, you guys are amazing!
