Highly likely to be the front seal on the pump. If so, it is replaceable... consensus seems to be get a Viton seal fitted.
Also possibly best done by someone with the correct tools - but depends on how confident you are. if you search on here, you will probably find the thread where another member paid £20 to have a new viton seal pressed in by a diesel injection specialist...

Yep, front seal gone on FIP.
It's a diy job if you're handy and there is a cheapy tool which enables pump removal without stripping out the timing case BUT...strip it out cos diesel and timing belts don't mix and it needs changing to be safe.

I've just done some work on my 300Tdi pump, bought a factory Bosch complete seal, "o"ring and washer kit for $20 Au, that does not amount to many pounds in your money, but the bits are readily available. I agree with marksx getting it all set up back on the engine will be the most difficult part of the job, but with care, doable.
