I think they speak of the shaft seal. Usually this leaks when the bearing fails.
If it is leaking from the pump to block mating surface then I would say gasket. Now that you have encountered loose bolts....maybe you have found the problem.
If it was me and I went to all the trouble to actually remove the pump......I'd just put on a new one.
