The pump on my 1996 1.9 TD Xantia is leaking from the point indicated.
Is it just a case of replacing the seals or is this an adjuster, as I can see yellow paint marks on it?
If its going to be a straight forward job does anyone know the part numbers required?
Sorry I could not get photo to correct size!

Re: Xantia Diesel Pump Leak
That's easy
The device in question is the transfer pressure regulator and all that seals it is two O rings which are easily replaced once you unscrew the regulator. One O ring is at the top of the device and another smaller one at the bottom.
It's tight and does not have a conventional head on it to make removal easy. However across the flats is 10mm and it unscrews conventionally. Often you can get a slim open-ended 10mm spanner to fit it end-on and then using a T bar across the other end of the spanner undo it...
I must confess it's the first time I've seen one leak here...
Try to get a Viton O rings to replace the duff ones. Else if you're not sure they're Viton then soak potential candidates in diesel (and veg. if you use it) for a few days to ensure they don't swell up, go hard or otherwise deteriorate.

Re: Xantia Diesel Pump Leak
That was quick!
From what you say it looks easily for me to do, my fear was that adjustments were required.
Thank you Jim

Re: Xantia Diesel Pump Leak
No, no adjustments required at all Phil and looking again at your picture the way the flats are positioned you may even be able to get a slim spanner on it in the conventional way...
