Best Answer

Generally there are two sources of this on an engine with a pump-style injection system:

1) The front shaft seal on the injection pump (this is if you have a fuel lubricated injection pump). This requires a pump shop to repair the pump. Injection pumps are not something you want to take apart in your garage, they have very tight tolerances and very many small moving parts that, things which are not very welcoming of dirt.

2) A bad fuel pump, if your vehicle has an engine mounted fuel pump. To fix, generally the most economical solution is to replace the pump. In some cases, the pump can be resealed. It really depends on the application.

Is diesel oil and diesel the same?

Diesel fuel is often referred to as "diesel oil" or "heavy oil". Do not confuse this with "engine oil for a diesel engine" which means "lubricating oil specially formulated for use in diesel engines". My first Ford Fiesta diesel's tax disc said - "Fuel - Heavy Oil". They've now realised that this term is anachronistic, and my latest tax disc reads "Fuel - Diesel". To be pedantic - Diesel fuel is an oil - Petrol is a spirit.
