The O'ring on the head of the pump can be changed with basic hand tools. A little patience with the top cover will be required. Suggest getting a genuine Lucas kit and it will have a pump break -down picture in it. Part number 7135-110. All seals and gaskets will be in the kit. Replace top cover shaft O'rings while the cover is off as they will start leaking next.
In defense of fuel shops: We are in the business of rebuilding pumps to like new condition. It's poor business relations when a customer brings in a pump and you replace just one o'ring when it really needs an over haul. If one seal is bad you can bet the others are just as bad and will start leaking also. The head o'ring which Sig has never leaks till it gets glass hard. The other seals in the pump are in the same condition.
If all fuel shops just patched pumps they would soon be out of business. Equipment costs are high and to maintain any level of service it requires a good reputation of quality which only a good rebuild can provide.
