Meth Pump Leaking

Had the car up to change th oil today and put in the 3bar tune and sensor. Noticed the meth pump took a crap. Its leaking at the bottom where the arrow is in the picture. Is this just an o-ring or do I need to send this off to get fixed? I have also noted that I have meth pooled around the nozzle in the intake. Could this be a clogged or weak check valve?

Thanks

Time to call Julio and he will fix you up.

Just curious, how old is the pump and what blend of meth do you run?

Not sure on the age of it. I bought it used. I run 100% M1

Good that's what he recommends for longest life of the parts. Other additives and such can create corrosion. After talking with him, I got the impression that a few years is a good service life for this pump.

mine started doing that also. I bought a new one from him and sent my old one back to him so no downtime. Now I have a back up.

Like you I got a used kit and when mine leaked I just got a new one and never have sent in the other one for repair, if this one leaks or stops working I will just put in another new one, this is an important part of my fueling and I always use 100% meth

I just had to do the same thing. Mine was leaking where the inlet brass elbow screws in. I tried to use thread seal and tephlon tape with no luck.New pump delivered right away; problem solved. Mine was about 3 years old.
