If the pump is leaking, it is bad. By housing, does it have a pear shaped seal? It requires a special socket to remove and install the pump. Be sure that it is not the water pump cover leaking, that is the one with the pear shaped seal the the thermostat housing bolts to. Often times that is what leaks.
