My holley blue pump is leaking from a small hole on the pump.  There are two holes in it, one larger than the other- the larger of the two have a brass plug pressed in, the smaller hole does not and is dripping fuel out of it.  Any ideas as to what I need to do to fix this- I'm currently pumping out my race fuel on the floor of the shop.  I have another (red pump) that we use here at the shop for draining tanks, and I've tried running that pump and it does not leak- any ideas?


*update- the internal regulator apparently wasn't allowing the pressure to bypass back to the low pressure side & that little hole must be a weep hole for fuel going to the fuel pump motor. I took it apart, cleaned it, & swapped the red pumps spring into it- it holds steady 5.5psi and no leaking.*
