Assuming you have the new style pump (black plastic shell), is the fuel running down from inside, down the shaft - in other words, can you see where it is coming from?

I ask because there are two little hose clamps on the short bit of fuel hose that runs from the clear filter into the lift pump assembly, and these can come loose and result fuel in the area.
