See if you can dry it off to find where it's leaking from. Classic leakage points are from the back leakage pipes (the braided rubber hoses from the injectors back to the return pipe), and where the throttle and cold start spindles enter the pump body.

Remedy for the back leakage pipes is to change them (cheap and easy DIY).
Remedy for leaking spindles is to take the pump to a diesel injection specialist. Not DIY and expensive, unless you're brave and experienced.
