I drove around for awhile with such a leak, didn't get worse just made a mess until I swapped the pump. The leak pretty much stopped under load/higher revs beyond idle.

Having seen the photo's of stripped pump top I would replace the seals (o-rings) on the throttle spindle myself next time.

But the best advice would probably be that if the seals have gone its probably due its 100K service so remove pump and have it done professionally at great cost:rolleyes:
