im also having a fuel pump leaking problem, i talked to one of my guys that works on my truck and he said it possible that the o-ring in the fuel pump has gone out, is this a need to fix right away deal or is this a thing u can kinda ignore for a little while, i just dont want the fuel pump to quit working when im driving, it only leak when i start the truck but it doesnt leak at all when its running.

Fuel leaks do not get better with time. It will eventually fail and possibly leave you stranded.

Do you know where the leak is?

IMO, it's a gallery plug oring on the back of the head if it only leaks cold...but I'll bet it's still leaking when warm too...you just can't see it because the fuel is evaporating.
