Diesel Fuel leak

[Chris Reed]

Does the pump have to be removed to replace the throttle seal?
So the bolt that I tightened on the pump has an o-ring in it..that might still
be leaking?
Thanks

Chris,

Follow the previous posts, get it clean, this is good advice.

In the 3208 Cat manual there is a picture of two rear drain plugs,
These plugs have O ring seals, Check these seals. Careful because
fuel runs out of these holes.
I will second Jeff motion, It is probably the throttle rod seal.
I will add an additional posting on this topic.
