HELP! Diesel leaking (POURING) from under TPS.

I thought I smelled diesel....

Looked under the hood and on the pump, right under the TPS diesel is practically squirting out (just under the spring). Just started. I am kinda diesel-dumb so PLEASE HELP!

The throttle shaft bushing needs replacing. You will need to take the top 1/2 half of the pump off and have a new seal pressed in. If you don't know what you are doing then take it to a Bosch certified shop and have it done.
Should cost you about $75 max.

Off topic....
Just thought I'd say howdy to another Texan!

I'm not familiar with the diesel shops in San Antonio,, but, drop me a Private message, and I can give you a number to a good diesel shop,, he's just not too experianced with 1st Gens.
