Yes, the Oberdorfer 202M, the pump you have, has an opening in the casting on the bottom for the specific purpose of letting errant water out. There shouldn't be any water in that area to begin with.

If the pump housing is not cracked, the 202M can be rebuilt up to a point. The time will come that the impeller cavity is so worn that pump performance will fall off at which point you'll be buying a replacement anyway. Like I said, you can get out ahead of future repairs by replacing now.
