LR 2.5 n/a injection pump leaking

[Andy Clayton]

Hi all,
My injection pump has developed a bad leak and I cant tell where it coming from (As usual, everything is already wet and oily, so no overly obvious signs).

I've checked the lines and gently tightened all the connectors, but it is still dripping.

Is there a seal or a gasket that needs replacing or is this pretty much a sealed unit? I wonder whether it may have cracked somewhere as the diesel seems to be pi55ing out during a run.

Anyone have any wisdom to share on this.

Also if I wanted to replace it (1984 2.5 n/a ex MOD engine) would a 200 tdi pump be the same or is it specific to the n/a?

Please help as diesel isn't getting any cheaper and I'd rather burn it then admire it on my drive.

Andy

Thanks Roy,

It probably is the shaft seal then as the top of the pump is always wet with diesel and nothing else seems to get wet. Is removing the pump and replacing the pump a specialist job or is it an afternoon with a Haynes manual and a coffee type of job?
