I have a pair of 2002 model 500 EFI's and I fired them up on the hose this weekend and found that one of the mechanical fuel pumps that mounts to the sea water pump is leaking oil out the side. I always service the pump with freash oil and a new gasket between it and the water pump every year but it is not leaking at that gasket between them but out the side of the pump.
I need to replace it and was wondering if a standard pump from a local auto store was the same.
If so does anyone have a part number to reference?
Thanks

The auto fuel pump will not have a nipple installed for the overflow tube. If the diaphragm fails it will dump fuel in the bilge.
