Leaky pump quick fix?

So I tore the top of my pump apart to replace a couple O rings, and now that its back together I have a couple leaks. The first is from the return line banjo bolt and will be fixed with new crush washers, but the second is coming from the side of the pump where the shaft for the horizontal fuel pin is. Some people have little ball bearing in theirs but mine has little brass plugs it seems and I happen to puncture a hole in the one on the driver's side. It doesnt seem to hold much pressure so I was wondering if i could just use some sealer over the hole like quick steel or something. Has anyone used sealer on their pumps to fix leaks? What works and what don't? Any quick fixes would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

I have the little caps too on mine. If you remove it and then put some "Seal All" sealant on it it should stop the fuel leak.

I use this stuff on all fuel related leaks and it works great.
