Lister ST2 Generator engine

I have a Lister ST2 which is suffering from rising oil level, basically the fuel is finding its way into the sump! Any ideas? Thanks!

Typically a leak from the injector pump or one of the injector pipes inside the covers - in fact at any point from where the fuel pipe actually enters the engine! - but it is probably the high pressure side. I think its a uniquely Lister problem...
