Fuel pump leaking

Guys,
I have a 1949 KB-5 with a Green Diamond. I just noticed today that there is fuel dripping out of the fuel pump. I am ASSUMING that the diaphragm is coming apart and that there are some weep holes or something similar. Should I rebuild or replace? Where is the best source for parts?

Thanks in advance!

Here's the guy who rebuild mine. He has the rebuild kits, but there was drilling involved and very detailed instructions. I just send mine to him, didn't want to mess up a hard to fine pump. He also did my carb. Does great work.

Thanks Wylie. I will give that a try. My '49 is pristine and I want to keep it that way.
