12V Lift/Transfer pump help needed

Need some help here

1 - I've got an issue with my lift pump leaking fuel at the gasket area- is it possible that it's just the gasket between the pump and the pre heater mounting plate? or does the pump need rebuilding? as I've never had a pump in my hands, can fuel leak there on a good pump?

2 - while removing the pump this weekend (pumps still on the truck) I snapped the fuel line from the filter to the lift pump (more stupid tax), can anybody give me the Cummins part number for this line. Had no luck between dealer and Cummins shop trying to get the correct Cummins part number as it will be cheaper than Dodge for the part.

Opinions- with 180K miles would I be better off installing a new pump, a rebuilt pump, rebuild it myself or not be concerned. I'm an ex aircraft mechanic and I'm all about preventative maintenance. If rebuild it myself is the answer does someone have the Cummins number for the rebuild kit?

Thanks to everyone in advance.
