Subj= ect: [Diesel] Injector Pump is leaking...

Hi Volks,

Looks = like I've got a slow leak from the bottom of my injector pump.
I can't = tell for sure where it's coming from, but I know it's not
from the injector lines. When I rev the Vanagon up to around 2K RPM
or so - this = maybe causes one drip every ten seconds or so. So it's
not a lot of = fuel - but I'm concerned. It eventually puddles on the
splash pan = below, and ends up splattering the back of the vanagon
w/ little = markings... Should I be concerned from a mechanical view?
Is this a big = deal? I'm kind of surprised, as the pump doesn't even
have 70K on it yet. = But then again, it *is* nearly 20 years old.
And it hasn't been driven = much for a good ten years. Is this something
that will eventually carbon = up and stop???? Anyone have any feedback?
Perhaps this a result of the = fuel being turned up too much?
Or is it time for a rebuild, etc. = etc.???? Your thoughts/experience, as
always, would be greatly appreciated!

Peace, John
