Electric fuel pump drips

Is this a sign that it is failing or is it a simple case of removing it and tightening the feeds?

you need to look where it is actually dripping. could be as simple as a clamp that need tightening. Could also be a failing hose, a cracked or loose hose barb or the pump itself leaking at a seam.

Hi azruss,
The hoses in and out of the pump are brand new. I figure it has to be the pump itself because the dripping was coming from the pump and only dripped while it was running.
I've taken it off now and I'll be ordering a new one... and they ain't cheap! :(
Thanks,
Jim
