Xantia Diesel leaking

I discover there is some leak at the fuel pump but I don't know the exact location of the leak as those fuel hose blocking my view. The strange thing is that it stop leaking when the engine is hot. When I cool it down, it leak again.
Any clue?

I found that the leak is come from the bottom of the fuel pump. Through a device call ALBF system. Anybody know what is this ALBF?? How is it function? Is it adjustable?

The unit in question is sealed to the pump body with an "O" ring, it uses a solenoid valve to lower hydraulic pressure on the timing advance piston on a cold engine below a certain rmp.
Take it to a specialist for repair, any dirt that gets in from tampering with it has the potential to eventually destroy the entire pump.
