Hello Wayne,

Fuel getting into your timing belt or cam belt as you have called it case does not sound good.
How can you tell fuel is getting on your timing belt?
Did you change the FIP? disconnect it? how big was the rebuild?

Cheers

a poor front seal and worn pump (in that the shaft has been pulled by the new belt)are often shown up when cam belt is changed

As above - probably the FIP front seal. if so, replace with a Viton one if poss.

Cylinder head has been rebuilt after a blown head gasket

New lift pump
New radiator
New glow plugs
Brought a new timing belt but haven't changed it yet (glad I haven't now)

I know the timing belt case is full of diesel as it's coming out of the drain plug in the bottom of the case as well as from the small hatch where you lock the timing belt

As James said, pump front seal has failed. Have you ever run it on biodiesel?
I change them when I have a pump off unless I know it's already been done. I buy the one in the link below-

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181398341531

(Hope link works, sorry I'm on the phone)
