Fuel leak on 98.5 dodge

I have a fuel leak coming from the injection pump on my truck, it looks like it is comeing from a plug that is on the side of the injection pump. I have tried to find a diagham to see what is behind the plug but no luck yet. I have tried to tighten it but no luck. can someone help me with this. I have a FASS primary pump on the truck as well. Oh the truck does start but it cranks for a about 10 to 15 seconds before it starts.

Any recent work done on the pump?
You might have misplaced one of the sealing washers on a banjo fitting.

No I haven't, everything has been on the truck now for over a year. I had the programmer, air intake, exhast, and the fast put on at the same time.

Is the leak at a fitting?
Someone might have 'forgotten' a sealing washer that now has decided to leak.
It wouldn't be the first.

it looks like a plug that is on the side of the pump. it has the one conection where the FASS is hooked up, the the one next to it looks like it had a differant connection to it, and then the brass plug is below it with nothing to it and the brass plug is where it is leaking.

Sorry Shovelhead it looks like you were right, the little brass plug drains the pump thats all. I got in there and cleaned all of it off and started it again and it looks like it is a sealing washer I hope now the question is were can I find one on a Sunday after noon
