This morning getting the car out of the garage I noticed a strong smell of petrol. There was a small puddle on the floor on the o/s.
Sump was dripping fuel which was coming from the central gasket on the pump. Opening the inspection hatch I dried it all up but it became wet with petrol again. I managed to tighten the bolts (six?) holding the top to the bottom of the pump- all about half a turn. It was dry from then on, and I've just driven two hundred miles and it's still dry.
Questions!
1. Has anyone else had this?
2. Should I get a new pump ready?
3. The existing pump looks like this one on eBay,
4. The Eurosport new ones look like this, without the wide central spacer with a hole.
