Having replaced all the IP seals on my 01 Golf a couple of years ago, 
I'd say it's a very doable job as long as you are careful and have a 
clean place to work.  Don't think I'd attempt it outdoors, and certainly 
not in winter.

Check on youtube, there is a series of clips that take you through the 
entire process.  Also search on TDI club. It is important that you have 
the IP compressed before you slide the "distribitor" out to replace the 
Oring. Not hard to do but if you don't you may have things coming apart 
inside the IP on you.

I'd also try to determine where the leak is coming from. Unlikely you 
need all the seals replaced, so would make sense to just do the one(s) 
that you need.

Also check on youtube, there is a clip there about someone who fixed a 
leaky IP by running biodiesel.  If your leak isn't too bad this may work 
for you, and would be a bunch easier than doing the seals.

Good luck
