Ideal isar he24 leak problem

[Amg49]

I have an ideal isar he24 boiler, pressure had dropped a bit so I used the filling loop to repressurise , took it to 1.5bar. restarted it and after about 5 minutes notice it dripping ,coming out at the bottom.
I took off the tray at the bottom and it seems to be coming from behind the pump.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem, first time it has done this, but then there is a first time for everything.

It could be a few things, including the main heat exchanger, best advice might be to get a gsr engineer to inspect and repair.

The pump seals do fail on these for some reason

Thanks guys, its an old boiler and I know many heating engineers don't rate it so was thinking is it worth getting it repaired or go tbe route of getting a new boiler. Was thinking along the lines of tbe vaillant eco boilers , what do you think?
Thanks
