Wife's 98 Jetta has a leak on the injection pump. I expect out of the top and middle seals. I am use to rabbit diesels that have a tendency to leak from the shaft seal at the front and the rear seal towards where the injector lines come out. Symptoms are strong raw diesel smell when running ac or heater and also when returning home from running under the hood. Fuel lines are replaced, tight, and have been checked multiple times. No real diesel spots on the drive way. I guess i am trying to see where these pumps are most notorious for leaking. It has 203k on it and starts quickly and gets 46 per mile which makes me believe its not the front seal (pulley side) and not rear seal.
Getting ready to put in a new clutch and rear main. Just seeing if i should remove the injection pump to reseal or if enough of you think the top is sufficient enough. She is a teacher and teaching season is almost upon us so i have to get it done soon lol.
