If it the pump it is not a big job. Take belt off, undo two pipes at the bottom unbolt pulley, unbolt four bolts holding pump on and its out.

The pipe that runs from the pump to the box, runs along the front chassis rail under the radiator and gets hit with all the road grit and water as its mild steel it is prone to leaking, its easy enough to replace, but a bit of a pain as you are better removing the radiator for access to it.

did mine 3 weeks ago,much easier without the radiator in the way,also gave the pipes 3 coats of hammerite,my old pipes were really badly corroded.
