I can appreciate that - but it appears the pump is working & the o-rings may have failed?might as well replace them both while you're there. With the stbd engine out, it shouldn't be all that bad to replace the port engine's pump w/o removing the engine.
That’s likely. I’ve run out of fuel twice now & both times was the starboard engine - luckily both times were within single engine motoring distance to a fuel slip. I’ve learned that each engine burns fuel from their respective tank & never do the two cross-feed. The last time on her was the 1st time I recall a strong smell of fuel. I assumed it was because I had just fueled the tanks. I believe this pump has been leaking & this last outing was the run that blew it out but good (or bad, as the case may be).Although... it's possible that this fuel STARTED to leak while you were still using the boat
