Secondary Pump Leak

I recently had the Boxster in for gearbox fluid change and they noticed a leak from the scavenge/secondary pump. Nothing big but I am driving down to SC/TN area next month and want to square it away. Has anyone done this before? I have searched but couldnt find anything. I found the o-rings on pelican but wasnt sure if it was just as simple as switching those out. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, gpope. I have no experience in that area. Try posting on other forums - Pedro's Garage, Rennlist, etc.

Sounds like a nice trip, though!

It is just that simple, easiest repair ever. Just remove the 4 outer bolts, do not touch the inner allen bolts, they hold the pump together. The only concern is why is it leaking?? Someone must have had it out before & didn't replace the O-ring.

or it could be the camshaft position sensor that also tends to leak that's right next to the scavenge pump

I will order o-rings tonight and get it jacked up this week to take a closer look. Hopefully it is just the o-rings. I appreciate the help!
