Default Fuel Pump Clue requested

Not necessarily... The leak can be contained and yet the pressure will
be down...
There are other possibilities: worn eccentric on the cam, worn plunger
rod, bad spring on the regulator, etc... But if it had been fine and
suddenly the pressure turned up low it is likely something sudden such
as a cracked diaphragm...
Parts can be had from a number of repair shops and or vendors.. Look in
Trade-A-Plane... Check on Sacramento Air Ranch, as one source of
parts...
The first thing is to pull the pump and have someone who speaks
homebuilt aircraft help you inspect it... Usually something will be
apparent...
