Thanks for the advice, Chris. I was working alone. So I wasn't able to look at the pump while cycling the ignition. I decided to go ahead and replace the pump which came with a fuel check valve and that fixed the leak.

With the old pump off, I looked closely at the electrical connector and didn't see anything that indicated there was a leak. It seemed as if it were more likely that the leak was coming from the area where the fuel check valve meets the pump.

Cheers,

'88 200, had a small drip/leak which could be smelled for a while, until I finally got under there and had a look see. It was the return line to the tank which had a couple pin holes, very small, from being in the rust belt. So this spring going in with new lines, new pump, filter, whatever it takes since this is my main runner. Keep'm running, they don't make them anymore. Always carry a fire extinguisher.

Thanks, Art. The pictures in the link you provided helped a lot. I wiped the pump down as best I could and still had trouble pinpointing the leak. It looked like it was coming from the positive electrical connector. But it may have also been leaking from the area where the fuel check valve connected to the pump. I decided to replace the pump which came with a new fuel check valve and the leak is no longer.

Cheers,

I had the a-typical but still common filter rusted under the clamp...intermittent leak as the rubber did, then did not plug the leak.
