Diesel Leak

I know this has been covered before but I wan't to confirm I am doing the right thing.

I have a slight diesel leak which seems to be coming from the side of the injector pump under the dome shaped cover ringed below.

I have taken this off and there seems to be a small 'O' ring behing, can I just replace this if so where do I get a replacement from. I have got a general bag of small 'O' rings from Halfords- am I likely to get a good enough fit from this or do I need the exact item. It is a ZEXEL injection pump.

Many thanks for any help

Thanks for this, did you replace the o-ring on the other side, as I think they are the same both sides. If so where did you get it from cheers

hi your leak will be the other side , take the two fuel pipes of so you can get the spanner behind , you can get the 0 rings from mazda or motor factors,yes they are the same size

Hello,

I follow Antiques advice and yep, spot on!

Mine was also on the engine side, my mate replaced my 'o' ring, he used the same seals used in the hydraulic systems on caterpiller trucks.

These are resistant to all types of hydraulic fluids and so should me more than adaquate for you needs.
