[Vwdiesel] IP Leak

[82 Diesel Westy]

Well, I have been running the new fuel since July in
my 1.9na, and my pump has also started to seep, not
drip, just seep at the distributor plate big O ring. 
The pump was re-sealed about 5,000 miles ago.  I have
put about 3K miles on the van since finishing the
resto.
