Most likely an internal issue with the injection pump. If you have a mechanic fuel pump it could be coming from there also. If you have a mechanical fuel pump, you can bypass the fuel pump with a couple hose clamps and a nipple to rule out whether it's the fuel pump or injection pump.

99% of the time it's the injection pump leaking.

You will have to pull the Injection pump and send the pump to be rebuilt.
It's not a rebuild you can do.
Save all the shims under the pump for when you replace the pump as that is what sets the timing. ;)
