Subject:      Leaking diesel injector pump... Please help

Last weekend, my Westy got an engine transplant.  I (with much
assistance from Mark Drillock) installed a used 1.6lTD from a
1984 Jetta.  I have a leak in the injector pump at the junction
between the pump body and the fuel distribution block at the rear
of the pump.  I cannot find a manual that shows an exploded view
of a VE pump.  There appears to be some type of gasket in this
seam.  I have tested all the bolts at the rear of the pump and
they are tight.

Can someone tell me if there is actually a gasket in there?  If I
can actually find one, what are the consequences of removing the
fuel distribution block from the pump?  I don't want to buy a
pump, but I don't want to destroy this one in an amateur attempt
to repair it.  Has anyone else done this?
