Leaking diesel injection pumps

We are suffering a rash of leaking injection pumps. 7 of 21 machines have started leaking from the front shaft seal. All Perkins engines with Bosch pumps with from 3,500 to 5,000 engine hours.

We're only seeing this in our Florida branch.

Any ideas?

common fault. check also your return to tank pipework though any restrictions can cause leakage
