Are you sure it's the pump? On mine the aluminimum fuel filter canister had corroded where the metal strap fitted round it and started leaking.

seen this loads of times before, it is the metal bracket that holds it in place, it turns into a rusty water trap and then rusts through the pump, get a stock replacement one from bosch, think mine was about £110, one of the best things i bought for my car, good to know it aint going to die and cause engine death anytime soon (touch wood)
