Leak at front of pan could be pump weep hole, a couple of pump mount bolts go through the water jacket and require sealant. I've even had a cracked water crossover pipe, at the mounting flange. Run it, get it hot, you should be able to trace the source.
When you remove lift pump, fuel does drain back to the tank, so it takes longer to bleed. Yes, you can pressurize the tank with low psi to bleed the filter, either with a rag around nozzle at filler or through the return line on IP. Alternatively you can use a brake bleeding device attached to...
