I found leaking of coolant from water pump pulley. Is there any way to repair water pump or to seal the leak without replacing it? Thanks

Not if it is the pump. There is a double bearing and a special seal that all gets pressed into the housing. The pump has to come off to do that so it is easier and cheaper to just replace the pump. Also faster as trying to find those parts could take a while if anyone even had them.
