Kohler Genset Raw water pump dripping

[AlanT]

Kohler1305 CCOV Marine Genset. This genset has 550 hours on it and is in great shape. I just discovered the seawater pump is dripping a drop every 2 seconds. The pump looks to be easily removeable. There is a repair kit available for ~$420 that includes a bunch of parts listed below. My question is based on what little I can tell you now, do I need the entire kit or specific replacement parts. My hope is that I only need the water drip washer and an impeller kit

The overhaul kit includes:
Shaft pump
Shaft feather key
Water drip washer
Oil seal
Impeller kit (I already have a couple)
Bearing cover
Plate
another oil seal
Washer
circlip x 2
ball bearing.

Thanks
