Archived Injector pump

[LRose]

Hi guys,

I'm a first time diesel guy Have a 93 1 ton Been having a leek up front, first i thought it was the power steering pump but it seems to be from the injecto pump that sits above it. Do i've to end up replacing it or get it rebuild?

I'm thinking it might be a high dollar item . I'm new to this. Help this novice out. Thanks.

First, clean the area so you can determine what is leaking. You can smell the oil and see if it is diesel fuel, power steering fluid, or engine oil. It is fairly common for the VE pumps to develop leaks due to age and the changes in diesel fuel formulation due to emissions requirements. A Bosch pump shop can change the seals, with or without a rebuild. I recommend changing all the seals if one is leaking. The VE pump is not as easy for a novice to remove as it looks, so if you may want to get a quote on the whole job from the shop.
