said you need to replace the whole washer fluid box and hoses so I'm
assuming just the pump can be replaced...

Not only can the pump itself be replaced, the grommet (seal) that
keeps the thing from leaking can be replaced without changing
the pump. I would guess you can fix your leak for less than $5.

Sorry to do a semi hi-jack on the thread, but I have a related issue.

My E36 started leaking washer fluid out of the head lamp washer. So
much so that I resorted to unplugging the headlamp washer pump and
putting a bung in the pipe. My question is, where it the little valve
that should prevent this gravity trickle? Is it in the washer mounted
in the bumper, is it in the pipework somewhere, or is the pump at
fault?

On my old Rover it was the pump itself that had the valve. Don't know about your
car but will look on the CD if I knew the year or last 7 digits of VIN
