Took of the timing belt cover today as I was getting a black patch on the floor, thought it was oil but took off the cover and saw diesel leaking from the fuel pump any ideas if I have to change the pump or is there a rebuild
Kit I can get..
Thanks

the red circle is where i can see the diesel dripping from

there is a seal behind the pully... if the bushing is not worn out from to tight belt.. can change that seal by removing the pully.. if the bushing is bad.. it needs a new bushing installed and not a dyi item.. bushing needs reamed to fit specific tolerance..

so remove belt.. see if pully moves front/rear as bushing bad or solid in place..

id replace the belt as they dislike diesel on them..
