OM616 delivery valve seals (or something else leaking?)
After spending most of the spring enjoying the results of my hard work on the 300D, I've decided I need a new project or two ... so I'm trying to resurrect the 78 240D, again. It starts fine and drives fine, but the idle is pretty dreadful and there's a heck of a lot leaking, including fuel I can see running down the front of the injection pump. I can't see any on top of the pump, but my guess is delivery valve seals, because I can't figure how fuel would get on that part of the pump from anywhere else (or I suppose it could be the line leaking). Since the seal rings are cheap, would that be a reasonable place to start? Or am I missing something obvious?
If I do the delivery valve seals, am I correct in concluding from searches that there is only a copper washer involved, and not the rubber seal that's in some other engine's pumps?
