The usual leak-point on these Lucas-CAV pumps is the speed-control shaft bearing in the top cover. [The movable bit the throttle cable attaches to.] Double-check that the diesel isn't seeping down the side and just dripping off that blanking plug.

If it is the top cover that's leaking; they're easily replaced - about £45 from your local LSUK branch. [They'll also do you a washer if that blanking plug's really the problem - be aware that they can be a bit FT to undo.

na if that was the case it would be running from the front of the pump but its not its dripping from the rear underneath onto a black tray above the alternator (nearer the glowplugs) the only thing that is anywhere near where its leaking from is the fuel pipe which goes to the banjo connection at the top of the pump and that looks ok. The plug that i undone today had a big allen key to undo it and was covered with a white cap and very tight
