Default Fuel Pump Failure

So I fueled up yesterday and as I went to start to drive away the car started to splutter (like it wasn’t getting any fuel).
Rolled it away from the pumps tried a few things but no luck and eventually wouldn’t even start. Called road side assistance and he agreed that the pump wasn’t working, checked the fuses no issues there. As it was late I got it towed back home.
Next day I disconnect the battery, pulled off the back seat and noticed some fuel coming from the electrical connector coming from the tank, disconnected it and sure enough a few drops of fuel come off it. Took off the cover disconnected the other end of the electrical connector on top of the pump assembly and it’s full of fuel. I get some paper towel to soak it up but it fills back up.
I haven’t siphoned any fuel out yet as I was just checking and I have to get a small enough hose to do so. However I’m assuming this not normal given petrol and electrical circuits don’t mix.
