fuel pump leaking

[Swkintx@aol.com]

Is it possible for a fuel pump on a 1500 79 midget to leak and still work 
properly? I noticed a strong gas smell and I saw a drop of gas hanging on the 
bottom of the fuel pump. I tightened all the connection but still have the 
smell. When the pump is going bad will it leak? Can you rebuild the pump or 
should I just buy a new one?

Thanks,
