Ive noticed this the other day had look earlier and its coming for the fuel pump (bosch) underneath at the back it just a drip every few second no really affecting mpg. Wondered if anyone else has had same problem I'm gonna put a bit of chemical metal on for now, will I need to get a reseal kit?

yeah i did running veg (which i still do) pump was leaking from the middle seal, dismantled the throttle arm and tightened the pump down, been A ok since .
The thing is I haven't run veg which I thought is usually the main cause of seals going. Mines leaking under the pump and can't really see properly where it is coming from.

i don't think veg makes seals go mate, more pump pressure though as it struggles to push the veg through . .
Likely to either be the rear advance piston cap or the pump head seal (between the bottom ally section and the square cast section) not much else it can leak from around there and they are both common to go.
The usual one I find is the throttle shaft seal and it drips down the back of the pump...
Il try put some chemical metal on for now see how it goes til i can sort it
