Important Fuel Injection Pump question, please help

[appnut1]

Find a good local rebuilder, you should not need to buy a new pump unless it suffered something really catastrophic

I found the leak in my 86 M1009. I traced it up to the injection pump. I took the breather off and noticed fuel leaking from the driver's side of the pump. It looks to be leaking where the throttle cable attaches ( I don't know what the exact part is called). Heres a pic, the leak is coming from somewhere inside the red circle. What do I need to do to fix it. It doesn't leak when the truck is running, only when you shut the truck off.

Does one need special tools or equipment to replace the throttle shaft seals? Is it something that can be done on the truck without pulling the pump? It looks like the intake manifold will need to be pulled to gain access to the shaft.

I ask because my pump is leaking in the same location. The truck still runs great, but I can't afford to be dumping money on the ground. I have a complete seal kit for the pump, but have been holding off on tearing into it...fear of the unknown.

RE 1956 4x4.
My understanding is that the stanodyne, though not rocket science, is not something worth figuring out unless you are into it, like TH 400s. There are special tools invoved, ect.

that shaft seal "might" be able to be done without removing or taking the pump apart, but if that seals on its way out the inside of the pump probably isnt much better.

I have a local rebuilder that might make you a good deal. He built me a 6.5 pump from one of his cores. He originally quoted me $350 but I am not sure that was my price or his going price. I think it is his going price. He builds a lot of pumps and turbos for Ft. Hood.
