Steve: There are several brands of primers but all that I have worked on have an o ring seal or string packing on the shaft. Open the primer, unscrew the nut
and pull the primer plunger out of the panel. There should be a o ring or some string type packing. This is what is leaking. This type of leak will not efect the way the engine runs as the primer is still seated when in the closed position. It is just a nuisance.
