possible fuel pin leak???

Well i purchased my first 1st gen, w250 with a few small pump mods, a little lift and 35" tires standard cab auto with 4" exhaust . Very pleased with the truck bought it to use a farm truck and to run around town a little. after installing seat belts (previous owner cut them out) i drove about twenty miles are so round trip to pick up feed I popped the hood to check the belt and noticed a small fuel leak while it was running. Not very familiar with the parts locations yet but the part is where throttle linkage connects on the top front drivers side of the block. It slowly drips out of the top of what looks like a small vent hose run up through towards the right side of the part. I researched through the sticky and from the information i was able to gather It seems to be the fuel pin. Which would make sense since the prior owner said it had a ground fuel pin and the pump was turned up. What do i need to do??

If it's dripping out of the AFC vent, it is definitely a leaky fuel pin.

There's a link in the sticky that tells how to fix it. Add a 3200 RPM spring while you have the pump top off.

Nobody offers the seal kit for sale online, you will have to call or visit a Bosch pump shop.

If the leak is not bad enough to bother you, it won't hurt anything to keep driving.
