Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) New VP44 Leaking

[BSims66173]

First would like to thank everybody who responded to my orginal post and helped me determine mine was bad. Got a remanufactured one from Diesel Specialist in Florida and thanks to them also for prompt service. Now after installing the new pump I have a leak. It looks like it is leaking between the pump and timing gear case. I know I am going to have to pull it again but trying to determine why it is leaking there and wondering if I am going to have to send the pump back. There isn't any lines connecting at the front so does anyone have any ideas. Guess I'll get started taking everything back apart. Thanks in advance for you help.

Found Leak

Well I found the leak and was able to fix it without having to take anything apart. There waas an allen head plug between the outside mounting bolt that was not tight. I tightened it up and the leak stopped. I guess when installing something new it would be a good idea to check and make sure all plugs are tight before installing. Just glad I could get to this without removing the pump or anything else.
