New fluid can quieten a noisy pump ;) check that there isn't any play at the pulley end.
Can you get gasket paper? Have made gaskets for oil areas from cereal packets soaked in oil. But not sure that would work on a water pump. Have used a thin bead of rtv silicone, from a medical syringe, on a cereal packet as an emergency gasket that lasted till I sold the car.
Haven't checked, but from what I've found online, it's paper. Have both gasket paper and liquid gasket in the garage, so will sort something out. Will check all bearings, when I pull the old belts off.
Changing the fluid sounds like it's worth trying, thanks

Sure it is a gasket not an o ring?
