MS40+ pump dripping oil from rear fan cover

Question

MS40+ pump dripping oil from rear fan cover. We change the oil every 6 months, and are having this issue with old pumps as well as pumps that are only ~2 months old. I suspect it is the rotating gasket (included with the MS40 maintenance kit), but wanted to know if anyone has experienced the same issue/what the fix was?

Hello Logan, 
 
 It is the most likely suspect because it is a moving shaft near the rear fan cover.

Thank you for your reply. While I was taking the pump apart, I was unable to remove the back shield & fan. I attempted to remove the hex screw that is connected to the shaft, but it turned the front fan as wouldn't come loose. I had someone brace the front fan mount while I tried to remove the hex screw on the shaft from the rear, but to no avail. I removed all the screws and had the back shield and rear unit (housing the rotating gasket), so this is the last part needed to replacing the part needed.

There is no written maintenance procedure for the MS40+ maintenance kit. 
 Here is the exploded view diagram of the pump.
