No, your injection pump is lubricated by engine oil.

what is this I'm hearing about leaks?

That does not apply to your model. The leaks are the rubber o-rings on the delivery valves of the later injection pump models (86+), your pump uses copper crush washers. The leaks on the later pumps are actually caused by normal age and heat-cycling stress. Its being blamed on ULSD because it conveniently switched into use around the same time a few people started having leaks, a scapegoat.
The fuel has minimum standards for lubricity that it must meet before it even leaves the refinery. On top of that, the stations all add their own blend of additives to the fuel as its pumped into the transport truck.
If there was
actually a problem with the fuel there would be FAR more people with leaks than the few isolated reports so far.
