Default C6 fuel pump

Is this an issue on C6 corvettes with the unit leaking. Fuel was pooling on top of driver side tank. My son is a mechanic so the problem was taken care of,but will this give me problems? By the way you don't have to drop out the rear end to fix it.

Had a strong gas odor found line out was leaking on driver side unit. Miles on the 2009 was only 26,000 miles. Just strange. I had heard that they had a problem with the fuel system.

Weird, I haven't heard of that being a common issue, but maybe I just haven't heard of it

I received a TSB for replacing the fuel pump for my 2008. Some pumps were experiencing cracking on top near the fittings. GM will replace the fuel pump on their dime, if you experience this fuel issue.

I got the letter for my 08 last month.GM is sending them out in phases due to parts availability. I've had the problem for a long time, problem is the fuel pumps are back ordered..They must be on a slow boat from China.
