If the pump keeps running there is a leak in the lines.

unfortunately, me thinks no. as you might guess, all of the lines are hidden so finding the leak won't be easy. i'd suggest starting back at the pump and working your way forward. also for the record, the pump running that long will store a code that you'll only be able to clear with VAG-com.
