You might pull the top of the reservoir off and filter out to make sure the bolts holding the reservoir down to the body are tight. Otherwise, I am with TxGoat on a dried seal or gasket (O rings) as the probable issue and trying one of the snake oil products before tearing it apart. Of course, there is a possibility a leak somewhere was large and pump was run dry so the shaft or seal was damaged but the snake oil is quick, relatively inexpensive, and if it doesn't help then only time and a few bucks are lost and you can still do the rebuild.
