So, I've got a 92 power ram w-250 cummins with about 250k on it. I was shuffling vehicles around in the drive last night when i noticed a pretty significant leak from engine compartment while it was idling. Upon closer inspection, I realized it is fuel. i popped the hood and saw that it appears to be coming from the underside of injector pump from what appears to be 1 or 2 threaded ports on the bottom of the pump. Am I missing some plugs of some sort that could have backed their way out or are those threaded ports some kind of weep holes? they appear to be pretty clean. I do believe I have the Bosch VE style pump. Can anyone shed some light on these ports and whether or not they should have plugs in them? This is my daily work truck so all answers and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

You do have at the VE pump.
They have o-rings for sealing on several thing that commonly start to leak.
A re seal kit is about 20 bucks.
I ordered three kits last time I needed one form a dude on E-bay.

 

so any thoughts on what the two threaded ports on the under side of pump? am i missing something here ? should i have a fuel line running between there or are those both weep holes

 

Probably leaking from the back of the timing piston. There is a cover on the engine side held on by two screws. It is sealed by an o-ring and a known leaker. It will drain down the case and drip off the plugs on the bottom. Removal of pump is required for access.
