Easy
Pull pump.
Remove and replace the 'O' rings under the covers with the X on them.
That should do it unless you want to crack the halves and replace the big 'O' ring between them.
I use a hammer and a big screwdriver to open the covers but I guess that is actually a tool for this.

Re: If you're leaking from the X-screws..
You can buy an 0-ring kit for $10. My two top screws were leaking. I replaced them with the pump still on the car. No problem. You'll need a drag link socket to remove the x-caps. You might have to grind the corners of the socket.

Drag Link Socket and I don't mean a
guy dress up as a drag queen, is the correct tool for this job. Snap-on and Sears (Craftsman) both supply this socket. It allows you to use a 1/2" breaker bar to remove and replace the caps.
