Oil leak from injector pump

[Six_Man_Diesel]

Put my new plate in last week, and adjusted the governor lever. Now there is a small oil leak from the back of the pump, the rear plate doesn't seem to be leaking, but I am not 100% sure it isn't. The oil is dripping down from the linkage at the bottom of the pump, and running down the side of the block. Is there an oil return line, or someplace that could be leaking from the bottom rear of the pump??

I've had a couple trucks have pumps that leak from the seal where the throttle pivot is. Also seen them leak due to a bad gaskter between the pump body and the governor housing. You may want to check the seal between the AFC housing and the governor and make sure its ok before condemning something else. You may need to have the pump removed and rebuilt to fix the leak.
