sounds like it's coming out at pressure. Clean it up and see if you can find the source of the leak. It may be a hose. Check all the fittings are tight too (basics first)

Pumps can be resealed. If they aren't making a noise you can get away with it. If it's moaning like moby dick then the pump is probably worn beyond a cost effective rebuild and replacement is the go.
