    Default leaky fuel pump on Christmas Eve!!

    just found out my fuel pump malfunction on christmas eve.. it leaks at the "polarity" terminal side where the high pressure fuel exit. they are 2 notches that holds the armature inside the housing, the armature did loosen a bit so i used a mellet to tighten it but the problem still remains.. fuel pressure is healthy on fuel rail, but the fuel pump itself just leaks.. any way to cure it? it is used less than 2 accumulated hours. i have clean EFI filter and pre EFI pump filter. what would have cause this to happen?

    If its leaking around where you have put the high light i would say the pump is u/s .. possibly been dropped or just poorly assembled .. Any warranty ? Dont stuff around with it to much otherwise they won't take it back ...
