I replaced injectors a couple weeks ago, no problems and no leaks when I leak checked everything.

today, i found this.....

The fuel lines are dry, and the top of the pump seems dry. I can't tell where this is coming from.

Is this a location that the seals can be redone on the car? or should I start planning to pull the pump

Hard to tell, its a bit dark in the area the leak is coming from.
Did you try tightening the injector lines in the area, including at the injectors?
Use a paper towel to trace where its dry to where its wet?

i felt all the lines, all completely dry. After watching the videos by dieselgeek on seal replacement, it look like it is coming from behind the bracket with the 'green' nut.

off to find a mirror to get a better look, but if nothing else back there leaks, im going with head seal.

Update on the repair? Mine seems to be leaking from the same area.
