The drip is more than likely coming from the bottom plate, which is a real bear to R&R in situ. I've found that the large oil filter o-ring from an OM617 will work to re-seal the bottom plate. At the very least, the delivery valve seals should be replaced if the pump's coming out. Might not be a bad idea to have them replace the fuel check valve on the back side of the pump--if they're available.

The dealer found a drip coming from the the plate on the front side of the injection pump (about 1" wide x 4" long). Mechanic says need to replace a few seals... but, labor will be about $200. Is there anything else I should have him do while he is doing this, for preventative maintenance?
