Hallo.
after being left overnight I was curious to see diesel over the floor and on the inside of the timing belt case.
it was dry yesterday- from the pooling it can only entered from behind the camshaft sprocket.
Is this likely? it had not happened in the last week or so that we had cover off- Why now? is it painful

cost wise?
 
That looks like your fuel pump has sprung a leak in the seal behind the pulley.
There are a few good videos on youtube , britanicca restorations did one I believe.


Cheers

Seal is easy enough to change , timing it again properly is where you need to make sure you get it right. Should not be an expensive job to do_Or if you get a reputable known diesel guy to fix it for you should ne be too bad, but make sure they know what they are doing ref the retiming of it.
Just ask @border

Cheers
 
Wot he said above ^^^^ .

Seal kit is available on the bay, as is the DTI you'll need to re-time the pump :rolleyes:
 
DTI kit easy enough to use, loads of vids on youtube.
I cannot remember if it is the disco or def 200 you need a 90 degree adaptor for the dti to use it on the engine, as space is at a premium.
