Yeah, I would try to resolve the issue first because you will only make it worse. The pump might fail if it has no fluid.

The dealer parts dept. can get the seal for that pump. replace it and then bleed the air out of the system by filling it up and turning the wheel back and forth till the fluid quits foaming. You might have to let it sit 15 mins or so between bleeding it, and waiting for the foam to disapate.

Do they make rebuild kits with the gaskets for them? I have a 95 and it leaks but i dont want to replace the whole pump when just the gaskets failed
