Default Brake Vacuum Pump Seal/Gasket Oil Leak

I have a 2010 Range Rover Sport. The Brake Vacuum Pump seal was leaking. It is hard to tell if it is the seal/gasket between the pump and the engine block or the seal on the cover of the vacuum pump. I see that the seal between the pump and the engine block is available for around $20-$25. Does anyone know if the seal/gasket for the cover is available? A new OEM pump is $450, an aftermarket pump is $250. My pump is working fine, it just leaks. Thanks in advance. Phil

Don't cheap out on this. If the pump leaks internally, it will hydrolock and skip your HP fuel pump timing. Change the pump and get the updated bolts.

What would indicate an internal leak? Brake system seem to work perfectly. The only issues is an external oil leak? Thanks phil

The pump hydro locking is the indicator.
