I had one fail, resulted in the entire contents of the fuel tank draining into the sump and contaminated the oil.

I replaced the diaphram myself and no further problems after that.

However, something you might want to consider doing as petrol will thin the oil and depending how much leaked out your oil now might also have been contaminated by the leaked fuel.
