Mechanical Fuel Pump Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New chevy truck owner (70 SWB 4x4 with a 454 motor) with a newbie question. I took my truck for a ride last night and this moring I walked into the garage and found puddle of fuel under fuel pump, upon further investigation found what looked like the fuel pump seaping fuel from the upper seam. My question is why would fuel be seaping from the fuel pump without the truck running? FYI After replacing the fuel pump the issues did go away. Is there any other things that could have caused this. Thanks in advance for your help.
