Hi all,

Van has new starter motor, fuel filter. Newish fuel lines with manual primer and was starting perfectly in an instant.

I developed some problems starting recently. Battery was a bit low so charged it. Seemed to struggle then a wiggle of some wires around glow plugs (I had replaced connection from starter) and it would start instantly again so thought it might be electrical issue. Then I discovered fuel dripping from around fuel pump. This video was straight after start up. I revved it a few times and it slowed / stopped. Went for a drive and checked again and no visible leak.

So I'm assuming once under higher pressure it's ok or something. I've read about replacing seals in pumps in situ and leaks from cold start areas but I'm unfamiliar with it all.

Any help / advice much appreciated.

Van is diesel AAZ engine - will update signature...

looks like its from the throttle shaft easy enough to repair brickwerks sells a kit for the jx pump but i think it fits the aaz one aswell but ask before ordering just in case heres some more info based on a landy pump but they are both bosch pumps so the same principle https://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-ch ... 00tdi.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks, I think I stumbled on some threads about the throttle lever, I'll have a read - I've emailed Brickwerks too...
