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?
