Under the Alternator,isn't that the power steering pump? The injection pump is more to the rear of the alternator and under the inlet manifold.
Following the pipes is usually a big clue

can you post the video?
What is it then
I tried
How does the engine start ,Does it take a bit o cranking then a bit of white smoke ,from cold.. or is it on the button ,the first symptom could be a leaking return pipe on the rear of the pump if it starts right up pump seals...
Right away with no smoke
So maybe leaking return pipe at the pump, but it's coming from what ever's under the alt.

Sounds like you have a diesel leak, that's running down as dripping off the power steering pump,check your leak off pipe's.

Check you leak off pipes first as mentioned by Alan, they should be dry if any of the pipes feel wet change them, heat shrink or cable tie the ends,
if its the pump them Biketeacherdave`s guide will help

Number 1 injector is the only one with a cup in the head casting that allows diesel to accumulate around the injector.Read the guide and make sure you understand it before you proceed otherwise you will be in a world of hurt.

What's the big deal over a little leak? Certainly ain't cause for scrapping. Everything that is in liquid form leaks out of my series 3 and quite a bit of non landy liquid leaks in when it's raining. I see oil and fuel leaks as another form of rust proofing.

Again thanks chaps
Yes I'll give it a go it's leaking anyway so can't make it any worse surely.
Once thing though is the timing of I'm rebuilding it all, I started watching a vid last night feel was to tired, I'll watch it later on how he timed it.
I've rebuilt the compressor but that's a doddle compared to this but as you say and I know too.... patience ect. I'll just get a good work area ect and see how it goes.
And yes I really appreciate all the help from here

Putting in your location may prove fruitful. The pump can be resealed Insitu but special tools required to remove and retime the pump.
If you are prepared to pull the pump out then you e nothing to lose trying to do it in situ first.
