This is my first post, and first of all, a big THANK YOU to you all for the great education you've provided. I've been reading and searching the forum and tech notes, and have found ideas, solutions and approaches to a variety of mechanical and electrical problems. So thank you to you all.
I resolved an issue that I did not see discussed, so thought I'd share here. Namaste has an M25XP. I noticed fuel seeping out of the top of my injector pump. The high pressure fuel lines to the injectors connect to a part identified in the tech manual as the "delivery valve holder." It is a bolt like item that screws into the pump housing. It is hollow with a spring inside, the "delivery valve spring." No matter how hard I tightened it, fuel still made its way through the threads. On disassembly I found an o-ring at the top of the threads on each holder. It appeared that these rings had failed, and thus the leaks. I couldn't find any info on the rings, no part number or even size, but I found that a 9/16" ring fit perfectly. I replaced the rings on all three holders, reassembled, and no more leak.
The tech manual did not show the rings, and I found them kind of by accident. Now it seems like a simple and obvious solution, but this amateur mechanic was stumped for a while. So I offer this for other amateur mechanics who might have a similar problem.
