Went back and checked again... looking specifically at the plug identified in Springerpop's thread... sure enough, that is the one! Can see the oil slowly oozing out the bottom side between the housing and plug. Reading his entire thread next on what to order and how to do. Seems like that one can be re ringed in place without removing the bowl and pump..?
Thx for the pointer.

Glad you found it. The one in the lower left in the pic. is the one you need to remove the pump to reseal. Consider pulling the pump and replacing all the o-rings if you have time. Also have you replaced the hpop hoses? If not its probably time. They will usually just let go and leave you dead on the road. Call Clay at Riff Raff, or Bob at Diesel O-Rings, They have everything you need.

couple questions...?
My understanding is that the oil will drain out the HPOP when I remove the rear plug - catch it is some kind of container. What volume to expect?
Clean throughout with brake cleaner... new ring, loctite on 3 bottom threads... reinstall at 25 lb ft. fill HPOP with oil... allow 2 hrs to cure before start up...
which is better loctite 242 or 680 ?
lube the oring with oil or install dry?
torque figure correct? Bob's instruction sheet calls 53 lb ft for the IPR and 25 lb ft for the discharge fittings on the side of pump, no mention of torque figures for solid plug on back of pump...
where does the fresh oil go in the pump? top plug on driver's side?
sorry - couldn't search out a step by step instruction or link to same...
Am I missing anything?
Thx!

Repair of nonrepairable plug in place instructions.
Bob it would be helpfu if you could give all of us the same info here or on your website. I bought the repair kit for this from your website and I don't recall instructions for repairing with the HPOP in place. Thanks.

I have some pretty explicit instructions that are downloadable on the website, three of them are for the HPOP and related fittings. Multiple pages with photos that I would not be able to post due to size in their entirety.
HPOP Serviceable Plug
HPOP discharge hose fitting rebuild
Basic HPOP reseal kit
