The injection pump in my 1998 VW Jetta TDI (272k miles) is leaking moderately and the car has somewhat low power. I am not sure if I can get away with having someone reseal the pump or if I need to get one that's been re-manufactured. I am hoping to see a local TDI guru tonight, but he won't be able to do anything for my car for a couple weeks I am afraid. I am most concerned about further damaging the pump by driving while it leaks. The smell is obvious while driving on diesel. Is it better to leave the car alone until the pump is re-sealed or re-manufactured? What harm can come from driving around with a leaking pump? Mike Baltimore
