Subject: [LML] io550 fuel pump leak

I just got the aircraft back from the annual and after my trip this past weekend 
a ton of blue staining exists below the fuel pump.  I pulled throttle back and 
mixture back to cutoff and turned boost pump on low.  A steady dribble of fuel 
pours out of the mixture shaft as it enters the body of the pump.  A few seconds 
results in a 6 inch pool of fuel on the floor.

I'm assuming a seal has failed.   Any thoughts as I contemplate a 
repair/replacement?
