MF 231S Priming Pump leak

[fireman4074]

My MF 231S is leaking diesel from the priming pump when running. It is coming out of small hole on the side. It is had to tell from the pictures. I wish that it was some type of way to upload a video. It just start this today. It will run fine and I can do whatever I need to do with it. I just want to get it fix before something bad happen. Have anyone else had this problem? If so, what can I do to fix mine?

That hole is there for a reason.. to tell u it getting ready to dump fuel into the oil or drain your tank of precious diesel fuel..
Replace it..

Is it as simple as taking old one out and putting new one in? Or do cam have to be in certain position?

Plug and play.. no certain position..

Looks like the only thing that needs to be done is replace the fuel lift pump. Very simple, and cheap fix. If I can do it, anybody can do it.
