Step one
Check the pump body "O" rings (331) and (333) for signs of defects. They are not subject to wear and tear. They should be properly seated in their respective positions on the pump body (332), the smaller, thinner ring (331) towards the top (narrower) end of the pump body (332) and the larger, thicker ring (333) at the base of the pump body (332)
Step two
How to remove the shaft bearing (334) inside the upper (narrower) part of the pump body (332). Use tweezers to remove the spring clip (335) and extract the shaft bearing (334).
The shaft bearing (334) rarely requires replacement.
Step three
When fitting a new or replacing the old shaft bearing (334) you may find it useful to do this through the base of the pump body, after having removed the spring clip (337) and the oil seal (336).

Replace the oil seal (336) if it shows signs of defects or if there is evidence of leakage on other pump parts.
Step five
Refit the (new) oil seal (336) and the spring clip (337) making sure the spring clip (337) is fully housed in its seat in the pump body (332).
