jean, just checked your manual and it does NOT look like an external fuel pump.Number 26 on the attached diagram is the "Fuel delivery unit" You might want to check closer at your filler lines as well as your vent and your pressure valves. Let me know if you need the manual, it is very large and might be hard to download if you are not on any kind of fast connection. Good Luck

I'd look for a loose or cracked fuel line. +
There is a panel under the back seat on the right side with three screws. Removing the panel gives you access to the top of the fuel tank where the fuel pump, fuel lines, and fuel level sender are. This is the most common place for a leak to happen, perhaps at the fuel lines (there are two: a send and a return) but also at the rubber gasket (#25 in the diagram). It's not unusual for the gasket to get pinched when the fuel pump/sender assembly is reinstalled, and then you have a leak. Item 27 is a threaded plastic ring; the entire tank is essentially a big plastic jug, and the pump/sender assembly, gasket, and ring are the cap.

You have two fuel pumps. The main pump is located where you described it. Take a closer look at part nr. 22 its a fuel filter made of aloy. Mine was totaly corrodet under the clamp holding it.

There is only one fuel pump in the 1999–2004 VW Golf, and it is in the fuel tank. The fuel pump and top of the fuel tank are accessible through a small hatch in the floor directly under the right side of the rear seat. The hatch is fastened with three screws to the floor. To get at it, remove the rear seat bottom. It's pretty easy.
There are two fuel lines connected to the tank: one is a high-pressure feed from the pump output, and the other is a return from the pressure regulator on the engine's fuel rail.
The likeliest place for a leak as you've described is on the high-pressure line between the pump output and the inlet of the fuel filter (item #22). The hose could be punctured, a connection fitting might be damaged, the filter might be clogged, etc. It's advisable to replace the fuel filter if you're under there to fix the leak anyway.
