Do you mean fuel is leaking from the return line or it is pumping out when you have that line disconnected? That's what should happen. The fuel circulates constantly. A small amount is tapped off to go to the engine.

sounds like someone may have rewired the pump to a wire that is hot in aux key postion. if you want to fix it. you will need to find where they spliced in. look for non-factory rewireing under the hood and possibley from the passanger side floor (by door) at the impact trip switch.
