Not quite true Kneale, and we do want to relay accurate info, yes?
The split is between the front section containing both the PB and PS
cylinders, and the rear section containing the PS presure relief valve.

IMO&E, the more likely leak would a cylinder head O-ring.  Clean the pump of
all oil with solvent and find the actual leak source, you may need a mirror
for the underside heads.  If it is a cyl head, the O-rings are available
individually for about $0.25 each.
