air pump leaking air through hole in the back?

I noticed that the air pump on my S5 91 N/A has a hole in the back leaking air, I need to do smog soon and ive never noticed this. Is this a problem and should i replace the pump?

Seriously though If you want to check the pump just take the hose off the outlet and turn the pulley(somehow or start engine..be Careful.!)..if you feel air it is Ok.
