Default Injector pump reveal -- cost estimates?

I'm taking over my dads 1982 245 Diesel wagon. Non-turbo.

The injector pump is leaking, and the car piddles a bit of fuel on the hoses underneath the pump, and then ground wherever it parks. I'm sure many of you know the drill.

Dad fought with this issue for years. He had it re-sealed two or three times, but it never seemed to fix the problem, or at least not for long.

It leaks enough to be a problem for me, and I would like to get it fixed.

Any recommendations for a shop in the San Fernando Valley/ventura County area for this kind of job?

Any guesses about cost?

Last question... If I get it done,meow long until it starts leaking again?

Thanks!

PS-- just realized I have a typo in the title; should have been reSeal, not reVeal. Sorry about that!

Some leaks can be fixed while the IP stays installed. Can you wash up the area well and do a close inspection to find out exactly where it is leaking from?

Predictions for future leaks are difficult. Depends on quality of the seals/o-rings, installer's workmanship, etc.

If it leaks with new seals, it probably needs a throttle or input shaft bushing.

A reasonably priced Bosch seal kit is about $30

Thanks all.

Clean-and-watch is good advice; I used to be able to do that in the front yard; I'm in a condo now so will need to do it elsewhere...

And I should have mentioned that I'll need a shop to do it all; I won't have time for fun stuff like that until I retire in a few years.

Thanks again for the advice...
