Dry pump seals

I normally run PowerService through my system, but with my job my Dodge sits for quite a while (I know I need to start it every day or so but I forget). The pump seals seam to get dry over this time and the pump starts sprouting leaks. Once I get the system bled again and fire the truck up the leaks stop. What would be best to run through my system to give it a good once over?

sounds to me like you need to reseal the pump,they should not leak at all even after sitting for extended time
