2.5di 76hp Smiley - Fuel Pump leak when running

[Banokles111]

Hey guys,

I'm on a roadside in France driving south and after the fuel gauge hit the quarter tank mark it started to fluctuate. Turns out the fuel pump is leaking from the left side (facing engine). I dried it off and I doesn't seem to leak while at standstill, however when I started the engine it leaked profusely. It seems to be coming from a gold bolt on the side of the pump (see photos). I need a quick solution for now, any ideas? Also if anyone can enlighten me on the exact problem? I assume it's some kind of seal.

Many thanks!
