Leak is not from the main shaft. If the pump leaks from the main shaft the diesel will contaminate engine oil hence You will see an increase in oil level. If pump leaks, then the culprit is one (or more than one) of the heads of the HP pump (3 heads, see the good pictures provided by Artic.) For this jobs I would suggest a professional set of torx, better if "T" ones. Rounding torx usually means low quality spanners. It's an easy job lots of videos but takes time.
Hope this helps.
