How to stop my oil leak. 83 300sd

I have a 83 300sd and recently I started to leak oil out of my injection pump. It is a small dribble and not constantly flowing. How can I fix this. Is it a bad seal? If that is the case where can I buy a new one and install it?

here is where the oil is coming from.

Pull the clip and washer and you should find an o-ring in there. You might be able to order it by application, but it might be easier to try to match it visually.

It may be a round cryosection O-ring but usually that is not so.

If that is a moving shaft like the throttle lever shaft the O-ring has a cross section like the first one at this site. I think it is called a quadring.

https://www.lindepolymer.com/what-are-the-special-cross-section-o-shaped-rubber-seals/

However, a round crossectiond O-ring may work for a long time. Those are easier to find and could be worth a try.

If you go to one of the Russian parts sites they may show the Mercedes part number for the individual O-ring.

Bosch fuel injection pump shops will have them and likely a lot of extra ones just in some box, but it takes someone who has worked on them to pick the correct O-ring from a box of extra different sized O-rings.

Hm ,that's challenging. The EPC does not list the seals (no surprise)...and the Italian seal kit manufacturers do not list Bosch corresp. part #...and either put extra stuff...or omit some (understandable) .

We're looking at position 410 on the schematic :





...and the seals sure do not look like simple o-rings...I think they must be the simmerrings on this pic judging by their size (Italian SPACO PES6mw seal kit #GK210) , 2 pcs. included in the kit, here next to the pump elements' o-ring seals. They cannot be IP camshaft radial seals ...then what could they be?





...........

...or, position #6 in FLAG #801271 PES5MW seal kit .

https://flaggermany.de/en/produkt/gasket-kit-373/

I could not trace the Bosch or MB or any other part #...or the size ...

I believe Bosch Part Number 1420283001 is the oil seal used for your RW 375 governor shaft.
Spaco is an aftermarket maker of this simmerring (17mm OD x 11mm ID X 4mm Thickness)
