Injection pump died, I think......
My injection pump is spewing fuel on the side against the block. It looks like a pin hole or crack. I can just prime the fuel myself and it sprays out. Its enough that to move it in my driveway running it leaves a steady line of fuel, not drips. So is my pump gone? If so can someone help me with finding a good place to get a new or rebuilt one?
On the bright side this happened 2 days before I was set to sell it, which means now I'm keeping it.
I'll just have to drive the Dmax more. lol

Your pump is probably fine. If the leak is down low it's the o-ring on the timing piston cover. If it's up high it's the pump top gasket. Either one is a cheap fix, but the timing piston cover o-ring requires that you pull the pump to replace it.

The leak looks like its dead center almost on the back side of the pump. I guess I could yank it off and see what I find. There are a couple seals leaking so I could try just to put a seal kit in. Any performance stuff I could throw in fairly easy while its open?
