my new car: 93 300d 2.5 Turbo - questions...

I just want to say I finally got the car I have been searching for. Its a 93 300D 2.5 Turbo that has done 189,000 miles. She is in good condition and purrs like a kitten. When i went to look at it, it was 13 degrees out, and started on the first attempt, no block heater!

My main concern is a leaky fuel injection pump. It appears that fuel is leaking from one or more of the 5 lines coming out of the top of it. Is this a big issue? When it is idling, you can see fuel drip every few seconds from it. The previous owner said it never used to do it until he got the fuel filters changed. He has run bio-diesel in it. Should I be worried? Any other preventative maintenance I should do? Any good links or DIY sites? Is this injection pump something I can fix myself? Im fairly competant with tools.

Im very excited to be back on the diesel camp (used to have 116 300SD).

Thanks guys.
