Sorry, but your pump is on its' way out. I drove mine like this for a little while until the pump started to leak pretty bad. Got the pump rebuilt and everything was hunky dory after that.

Yup... Oliver Butthead is right...
Same scenario here. Mine leaked shortly after the idle issue became evident.
Rebuilt it and not (knock on wood)

Not sure what parts cause the idle to go low, but my guess would be clearances between the case and the rotating assembly. The clearances are opening up when it gets hot, and the fuel pressure(?) is not being generated? Purely speculation on my part.
There is no "rebuild" kit available, only a reseal kit - Bosch DGK-121. But for the $25 for a re-seal kit, I would give that a try first to see if it perhaps helps.
