Fuel in the AFC...How bad?

Discovered another leak the other day...Notice fuel dripping from the little vent to te AFC. After some brilliant deductions

I decidided to pop the top on the AFC and sure enough, it's full of fuel. I'm fairly certain it shouldn't be there and I'm suspecting there is a "seal" or O-ring around the little fuel pin at the bottom of the AFC that has gone away. What do you think?

So my question is...How bad is this? I'm trying to avoid pulling the pump until after the holidays, but if this could cause other damage, I will jump on it sooner.

Thanks!
Andrew
