I'm very interested to hear the full story, because .......
you guessed it my pump leaks too.....not much, about 4 drops
a night.  My Pentosin lasts about a year.  But the mess on the 
engine and cardboard is really bugging the crap out of me :-(  
for 14.95 I'd love to fix it, but if I make it worse.... :-( 
it's 179....... to fix it.  Versus 25.- bucks a year, and oily
cardboard on the floor.....

Keep us posted on your experiment :-)
