Have a 1968 (Mannheim built) JD 1020 leaking diesel from the fuel injection pump, which is a CAV Roto Diesel (DPA/model#? R3432190 E, serial# 2305 P1). Someone told me i could replace the copper washers on the fuel lines to stop the leak. From what i've read online these crush washers work with a banjo fuel line fitting to seal the connection. I don't have any diesel experience and these terms are new to me so please correct me if i don't have this right.
Anyway, i'm not convinced this is the problem. Leak is just a few drips when engine is cold, after a couple of hours in 80 degree weather it becomes a trickle (and i shut her down).
A pic of the pump is attached, which has labels pointing out four leak/drip sources i can identify. An 11 second video of the leak can be seen here:

Hope you gurus can tell me what the problem really is and recommend best fix.
Thanks very much,
Richard
