Journeymanvaries miles...have resealed many leaking pumps. typically with biofuel and diesel use this will occur sooner than vehicles running just one or the other.

Visitor, 2000 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, 1.9L 4 Cylinder Diesel Turbo, 135,000 mi
Fuel found after vehicle parked. Poor MPG. Inspected IP could see leak. Decided to install rebuilt injection pump and timing belt/water pump instead of just replace IP seals. Get rebuilds done at DFIS in Portland, OR.
