Seal on injector pump shaft.
I was thinking that. Is it an easy fix or pump away job?
sounds about right!Easy fiz but taking the pump off isn't . in fact it's a total twit.
Heater plug?

Starter needs to come of and even the oil pressure switch , biggest pain is taking the bottom nut off the pump, may as well get it reconditioned whilst it off.
I cant think why the starter needs to come off? Oil pressure switch maybe depending on type yes.
Bottom nut on pump will be awkward because hydraulic pump is in the way. Ideally you need a 4way 13mm spanner and I have a banana shaped 13mm ring spanner modified with a grinder which helps.
For a new lift pump ?
I think its a strip down of pump as seal fits from the inside I think. They do on later machines anyway but I could be wrong on an old one.
Taking it of is easy enough.
Move or take rad off to find a small access plate under the water pump take this off to find the pump shaft nut. Then take every thing off round pump and the mounting nuts of the pump wiggle it loose to break gasket seal. Get someone to hold and gently pull on pump with mounting nuts off. Get a copper drift and give shaft a good tap it will jump off the taper. Do not ram bars in and lever pump off you will damage it but equally you must pull on pump slightly to make sure the gear is up against the timing case so the force of yhe hammer blows does not transfur in to the pump. The ideal way is to make a puller which I have for the newer ones but not sure it would work on the old ones unless you took the whole timing case off? Depends if you can see the 2 threaded holes in the gear from the access plate or not. A puller is the best way and the only way on the later ones as the tapers on the gear are so much tighter that the old ones. Dont worry about timing the pump is keyed to the gear so nothing to go wrong.
Ours is 525 so maybe a little , but needed to remove starter to get extension bar ont nut , not enough room for a spanner .
Thanks I'll get a look at the job soon and see how it goes, and hope the seal fits from the outside
When pump is off the is a circlip holding a washer on pump shaft yhe seal is behind this but dont know if it just pulls out and a new one fits in or if its fitted from the other side.
It happened our 996 David brown once, we got injector pump done up and all that was wrong was the heater plugPossible but unlikely. It'll smoke well for £10 quid or so you could try it but I have only seen this problem once made worse by a blown boost diaphragm so fuel tank was pressured but turbo so when stopped it flooded the turbo with fuel!
