Narrative:
After fuel pump replacement, item was signed off in log and another item opened for leak check. On leak check, pump was seeping so the seals were replaced by me. I signed off leak check good, but neglected to put replaced seals as per maintenance manual, leak check good to indicate I was last mechanic to work on fuel pump.
