Leaking gas!!

Hey, my 84Z28 is leaking gas like crazy.. It's coming directly from the fuel pump (like if that there would be pressure pushing it out), it just comes out when I stop the car (I think anyways), It will drain like $15 of gas in a night.. I don't think that it doesn't all the time, but at least 1 time a day. And I rain out of gas 2 times so far, after putting gas in the first time it took like 5 min. to start and the 2nd time it wouldn't start until I put gas in the carb. Should I just change the fuel pump and see.. or.. anyways, I need help, Thanks.

Re: Leaking gas!!

when the diaphram blows in a mechanical pump, the gas will be pumped out when the car is on, and it can siphon out when its off. time for a new pump
