Are you talking about the circulation pump attached to the front center of the engine, or the "raw water pump" near the lower right front corner of the engine? The circulation pump may have a shaft seal that leaks and drips out of a hole on the bottom of that pump. The impeller does not need to be changed. The raw water pump does have a replaceable rubber impeller. That pump can be more challenging. There are 3 or 4 screws holding the back cover plate on that pump. The impeller can be removed and replaced rather easily once you can get to it. Can the front and sides of the box surrounding the engine be removed?
