I have a 1982 BJ60 3B landcruiser wagon. there is fuel dripping from the engine, looks like it may be coming from the fuel pump body, or the front 2 fuel delivery valves. When we put fuel in the tank, as we open the cap, it makes a hissing sound like a vacuum lock. Does this sound like something we can fix at home, or is this a mechanic job? Can we take the fuel pump cover off to inspect the gasket, or will this cause some vacuum problem? Help me, thanks

This is a diesel right? There is a diesel forum on the web site. You might get some better response that's diesel engine specific on the other forum. But in general you need to isolate and figure out exactly where the fuel is leaking. If you have an external mechanical fuel pump, you might as well replace it if you remove it. You certainly need to look into this...not safe to drive with fuel leaks. Mechanical pumps normally leak if the diaphram is broken or they have a mechanical failure and are non repairable. I would clean the engine off pretty good, such that you can clearly see where the fuel is leaking. You might get a more detailed answer if you were to post a picture of where the fuel is leaking.
