00 caddy fuel leak.

glaswegian

apologies in advance for lack of technical know how😳. I have a small but annoying fuel leak which seems to be coming from a bolt which is nearly impossible to get at due to where it's positioned on the pump, has anyone had this problem,and is there any tool out there that will tighten this bolt?

get something like this and grind two of the square sides of the hole so they are round-ish :

It's probably tight - there is a little O-ring on it that might be failing/ failed already

it needs to be really clean around there before you go at it - if any tiny bit of grit falls in it will wreck the pump

it might fall apart as you take it out




Possible part numbers ( double check before ordering )

thanks gctest50, the leak seems to be coming from the hexagonal bolt next to the 004 mark(in the picture posted)even if i could get a spanner on it,it's only millimeters away from the cover of the timing belt so won't thread out.
