So as the title states when I returned to my bike today I noticed a small pool of fluids next to the kick-stand. At first I thought somehow oil was leaking from the drain plug but I noticed the bike was damp above that...tracing the leak up, I flipped up the tank and sure enough the thing bolted on the bottom of the tank (which I sagely presume to be the fuel pump) is leaking gas at a visible clip.
It's slow enough that I could make it the ~40 miles back and only lose 1 bar on the fuel meter, but it's definitely leaking. I checked the hex-head bolts underneath with the allen wrench included in the tool kit and they are tight. The fuel appears to be leaking from around the pump seal, since the paint is peeling up.
I assume that a gasket is leaking. Since I'm currently on vacation, it will be a while before I can get my trusted mechanics to have a look, so the plan is to call up a Suzuki place and have them order and replace the fuel pump seal. So:
What do you guys think is wrong?
EDIT: It's leaking around the outside of part #9 on the following link:

Is the part #12 o-ring leaking or am I in worse trouble?
