still leaking..

Ok, I cleaned up the area around the pump then I replaced the lateral gasket, replaced the lift pump gasket and some fuel lines that were leaking. That took care of the major leak.
However, I discovered some smaller leaks on the injection pump. It appears the bottom seal is leaking and the seal on the back of the pump. I think I can change the bottom seal with a swival socket (becasue the block is in the way for some of the bolts) but I am not sure about the back seal-If I remove the bolts on the back of the pump and pull that piece off will anything harm or come out of the pump? you can see from the pictures what I am talking about. Also, in the second picture-what is this called? I want to get the gasket for this part. It is just above the oil pan on the passenger side of the engine. I am guess it is some line that drains oil back into the engine.
