405 diesal leak

#11

if it leaks only when running, its worth checking the fuel return pipe,
as this could be the problem, and it is in the timing belt area,

Doesn't cost that much to get the seal replaced as long as there is no
other damage. Of course you would have to get the pump off, but you
would have to do that whichever route you took.

Just make sure that the leak off pipes on the injectors are still OK. I
had
a similar problem with a leak, top offside of the engine, and it was the
leak off pipe on the timing end injector, the one which is just a plug.
Worth checking before stripping half the engine down.

Hi,

sometimes the seal simply goes because the pump bearing is worn
in cases like these a new seal is a temp fix
It makes good sense to me.

to be fair a good diesel mechanic can tell
Yes. Giving the pump to a Diesel specialist would be my best advice
anyway,
as opening such pumps really requires that you know what you're doing -
and
I wouldn't consider taking the risk ! Excepted for easy ops like throttle
actuator cover change, of course.

sometimes a tech will just fit a seal though
not even checking for shaft movement
then it will last a short while cos the seals are quite good and then fail
later
suppose some people get rid in the middle!!

also bear in mind that if the belt is contaminated it needs renewing too

i tried looking for the fuel return pipe but cant seem to locate it in the
timing belt area there doesnt seem to be any pipes around that area at all
i think the fuel return goes round other side doesnt it ????
