What make is the unit, Josh?  From the sounds of it, you may well be dealing with as gasget, unless the leak is near a fitting and then your o ring idea sounds reasonable.

Tuff to realy know.  It could be a crack in the pump housing but that should show up as low pressure coming out of the wand.

I would suppose that if the wand still has pressure its probably just a gasket or oring that needs replaced.
