There is a seal there but as far as I know if it has gotten to the stage that it's leaking, once you pull the pump off you may find that the bush/bearing is worn and thats whats caused the seal to go.
But, unless you look....

yea i took it off and its definately that seal,,, i found a thread in the archives that was fairly good about how to take it out and replace it so my next step is i think to check out the diesel shop to find a seal or rebuild kit....
