Pump diagnosis

My skimmer pump (otp-2000) is tripping my gfci. Is this worth trying to troubleshoot/fix? Are there any stores that carry octopus parts?

So just to close the loop... I rushed a new pump from premium aquatics. It has the new pinwheel impeller so we'll see if that changes the output. Its still breaking in, however. Looking back at my records, I bought this early model Octopus (Int-PS-150) in December 2007. And its basically been run continuously - so close to 5 years. That's honestly outperformed other pumps I've had (mag drive, hydor) so I can't complain.
