Air pump leaking

The other day, I was washing the engine (after spilling hydraulic fluid all over it while changing the cab latch o-rings), and I noticed soap bubbles forming around the air pump while the engine was running (I started the engine to get some more air pressure).

The truck seems to work "fine", and builds 120PSI in the tanks, from empty, in a minute or two. Is the leaking normal, or is there a seal under this top cover that I can/should be replacing?

I just wanted to ask opinions before I did something stupid. :)

See the bubbles? They are leaking out of the larger gray, boomerang shaped cap, with 3 bolts.
