just check it is not coming from the actual hose connection. Silver gaffer tape has kept my pump going for 4 years! Got two new ones, so should be right for another 8 years!!

Open up the pump and flip over the one way valve rubbers, sometimes works as long as the leaks come from those valves (there are others but cannot get access to).

The other option is to clean the plunger with dishwashing liquid, rinse and then spray bits with lube like silicon spray.

Cheers

If you can be arsed playing around with it, if not coleman make a ripper pump for $20 at any bcf/ranger outdoors etc etc, at $20 get a season out of it...bargain!
