Alright guys this is what I have figured out. First I looked under the car and everything was dirty but nothing was wet as if anything was leaking so that's good. So I looked around and noticed what looked like an oil leak but couldn't see where it was coming from. Sitting on the driver side engine mount. So I stuck my finger inside it and it wasn't oil it was diesel. It was black so I assumed oil but it was only black because it was leaking down the side of the motor and turned black by the time it got to the mount. I found the leak coming from the top of the pump where the lines come off to go to the injections. I will be attaching two pictures. The red circles are where it's leaking at I can see it steadily coming out. Not pouring out but at a fast enough rate I can see where all the fuel is going now!
Is there some type of gasket or o ring under those line inserts on the top of that pump? How do I fix the leak on this?
