Default 1997 leaking under the injector pump

My truck is dripping fuel "somewhere" under the injector pump. I can't pin point it. It's got 80,000 miles on it, so I'm a little surprised, that the pump could go, with low mileage.
If it's the pump, it's not something I'd tackle, so what I'm asking is, what some experienced guys here, feel a fair repair would cost?, and where is a reputable place to get a rebuilt pump, if I have to locate one, myself?
Hope I've explained my problem accurate enough and thanks for any help.
I'm in central New Jersey for anyone familar with shops in that area. Thanks

There is a fuel return line between the pump and the block. When it gets old it cracks and will leak fuel.

Wow, thanks tons. I was hoping it was some sort of a line and not the pump.
I gotta get a mirror and locate it, and see if I can get at it.
Once again, thanks.
