I just watched dieselgeeks video on changing the head pump seal. I had the top two seals leaking on my car and thought that would fix the problem, but once I fixed those two seals I noticed that it was still leaking from the bottom. Long story short I fixed the head seal (so I thought). My buddy actually had one of the green bosch seals laying around (which looks like it was already replaced once because the old one was green also). My issue is I cannot get the injection pump to prime and when I go to start the car it leaks worse from the bottom of the pump and get kinda an odd smell I think from overheating the pump?. I'm thinking either the seal got snagged and most likely will need a new one or I have a new leak somewhere, but from the video it sounds like the head seal did not go in correctly. I also have one more question, when putting tension on the fuel injection pump where exactly should I be putting the 19mm socket to turn the motor? I'm so frustrated with this thing. I was hoping I could do this myself for the experience and save a little cash, but it's looking like I need to take it to a shop where they say it'll cost like 200-300 to remove the pump and they say they usually send them out to get resealed and that's gonna cost like 500 bucks! ��
