If you bought the pump from FCP then replace it under their lifetime policy. Was the AC compressor also from FCP? Then get a warranty claim. Neither of them should leak like that.

For AC compressor get a Denso. According to Rockauto's catalog it is the OE manufacturer for the vehicle. $345 on Rock. UAC and GPD are low cost aftermarket compressors if you want to try them. The GPD on Rock looks like a fave item along with Denso.

I am not sure if the desiccant bag is still removable on that model year, but change it if you can.

Just in case your leak may be caused by over-pressure from a plugged up condenser :
