    if its the head seal get 2 bolts about 30mm longer than the ones in there,

    remove the end mount, clean stuff
    remove the injestor linesclean it some more
    remove 2 diagonal oppsite bolts clean it again
    install the 2 longer bolts clean it because you feel like being pedantic
    loosen the other 2 bolts and gently pry the distributor head upwards until it touches the 2 longer bolts

    if anything looks like it got dirty or you touched it, clean it again.
    slowly unwind the 2 longer bolts until the seal just protrude clear
    hoik it out
    make sure everythings clean, infact clean it again
    put the new seal in by carefully stretching it over the head.
    lube it with rubber grease
    wind the long bolts in
    put the normal bolts in
    take the long bolts out (and shake them all about
    put the other normal bolts in
    put the mount back on
    put the injector lines back in
    start it up.

    Swear, forgot to check the cover nut on the plunger access bolt. and that was where the leak was in the first place (or the boost diaphagm pin, or the little corner of the top cover)

    I was told I was up for a pump rebuild after the mechanic tightened the fuel lines and it continued to leak. I went home depressed about it all and had a look myself. It was the plug in the middle of the fuel lines. Happy it was something simple but disappointed the mechanic missed it and had me lined up for hefty pump rebuild.
