Okay thanks I'll probably pull it and put new orings on it I've just decided to replace everything on it while it's out getting closer though

And I totally forgot when I had long cranking on my dd it was bad battery connections so I'm definitely gonna re do those to now thinking about it there in fair shape but could use some help

There is a plug on the driver side of the HPOP just under where the lines connect to it that can sometimes leak. Had a SD in my shop not long ago that fooled me into thinking it was the gasket leaking, but it was that plug had loosened up. Make sure that is tight before you pull the pump. It's hard to get to, but you can get a wrench on it.
