Learn from my mistake and fix the fuel leak ASAP. I left one for a while and ended up snapping the timing belt because the fuel weakened it, thus wrecking the motor.
Haha. Great tips! My favorite is "less pathetic".
I found a new seal; had to order from Spain to California! Just got it today. JX parts are a bit hard to find. I'm excited to get on the road again.
Is there a need to lubricate this seal? If so, what lube?
Vaseline will do just fine and the extra that slips into the pump will dissolve in the diesel and be gone in a few flashes.
