I recently drove my wife's '86 diesel jetta and caught the smell of diesel 
fuel.  I stopped and popped the hood to find that the pump was leaking from by 
the fuel distributor housing.  I thought "no problem" I had a pump that came 
from a '92 motor I had purchased and had been planning on putting the pump on 
the '86, but hadn't gotten around to it.  After I installed the pump, in short 
order, it started leaking from almost every place (except the pulley seal).  I 
thought a bit, and then some more, and then removed the return line and tried 
blowing through it.  Sure enough, blocked.  There was a bit of crud at the 
fuel tank end.  It was an easy fix.  I then purchased a used pump from a friend, 
installed, and the car runs better than ever.  BUT, I now have two otherwise 
functional leaky injection pumps.  Does anyone know of a good source for a 
reseal kit or the individual o-rings for Da Pump?
