That is the main pressure pump $$$. The transfer pump sits in the trunk area under the round plastic cover.
You may be lucky. Sometimes all you have to do is replace the copper gaskets at the fittings. The copper work hardens and doesn't seal after some time. I had to replace mine. Before you try to remove the fitting, start the car, then disconnect the electrical connector to the fuel pump. This will shut the car off nearly immediately, and relieve the pressure in the line (about 80psi). I pulled this plug at the airport once when I left my GLi in long term parking. You can accomplish the same thing by pulling the fuse or fuel pump relay from the fuse box. Dave.
