     You are right in suspecting the gasket, but you don't have to remove 
     the pump to replace it (they lie about it being easy to remove!). Just 
     undo all the allen bolts and the hoses on top of the pump. The old 
     gasket will slip over the top and the new one will slip back on. Be 
     aware that over tightening the bolts can warp the flange and cause 
     leaks. Also, while you're cramped up in the trunk, replace the fuel 
     level sender gasket at the same time, it is much easier to replace and 
     well worth the comfort of knowing that it is sealed prperly.
