Leaking Fuel Pump

[robchad]

G,day all, Was hoping someone might be able to help. The fuel pump on my hzj80 4.2 diesel has just started to leak from the underneath of the pump, not 100% certain where exactly, does anyone know if there is a seal in that area that is fixable and what it might be..

Thanks Rob

I dont think there is anywhere underneath Rob,lots of places on the sides where it could dribble down.
There is the backing plate on the timing piston at the rear which is close to the bottom but its at the rear between pump and engine block.
I dont think access would be too great without pump removal.
Clean it down then start the engine and see if you can exactly where its leaking
Also the tighten injector lines at the pump

I just got a spare one back from the workshop ,complete seal kit, adjustment and pressure test on the bench,$450 inc gst and good for a 100000 klms
Easiest and best way in my books
