Interestingly, I have the same problem with the GT6 (glass dome type) fuel
pump. The small lever fulcrum pin is where the leak is. On mine there are
little circlips on each side that hold the pin in, being only a slip fit.,
and the only way I could see to seal it was to make a slightly larger pin.
Then PRESS it in with Loc-tite, using the circlips as a backup just in case
it were to ever loosen. I haven't done this yet, but one of these days I
will. . . unless of course, someone else comes up with an easier way to do
it-
