leak under fuel pump/distributor

Post by JackE »

Hi

after doing an oil change and having a look at the engine earlier today I noticed that there was a small leak under the distributor and fuel pump- it doesn't smell like petrol, any tips would be great.

Remove the pump and renew the gaskets
While you're there replace the pump pushrod
