Search for a replacement pump, buy and replace the pump.. Motor starts and runs, so most likely is OK... Pump alone should be much less than a new washer. Once pump is removed, you should be able to run the engine, sans pump... if it runs OK... it is good. "Sealed for life" means you can't

Depends on what you want to spend, along with the amount of pressure you want to get out of it. A decent +2000 psi 5-6HP name brand pressure washer will probably set you back $300-$400. Don't bother with the electric ones - they're prety much worthless for something as major as cleaning siding.
