Arrrgh! Auxilliary coolant pump leaking.....

Okay, I might have finally found the last coolant leak in my car. Unfortunately the coolant is leaking from my auxilliary coolant pump. Pump still runs (I hotwired it) and it is getting 12volts so I believe the ACC is okay. (Seems to work fine) Fastlanes got pumps for $130 and PP for $108, a little steep right now. So here are my questions:
1) Can these things be rebuilt/resealed?
2) If so how do I test the pump to make sure its not pulling too many amps? (I'm an idiot with a multimeter)
3) Since its almost summer and I won't be using the heat much anymore can I remove the aux. pump and install a copper plumbing elbow in the line until I get some extra cash together?
4) Will this hurt anything and will my ACC still function (for cooling) okay?
5) Anyone got a used pump that they are willing to part with?
I already did a search on this and I can't answer these questions.
Thanks for the help, RT
