Default injector pump leak

well i have been having trouble with my truck and lately i have been smelling diesel, so i opened the hood and all around my injector pump was wet with diesel. then i started it and looked and it was leaking a steady drip from under the injector pump some where. i could not see the exact spot but to me it looks like a injector line leaking. could this make my truck run bad?......thanks for reading

Could be coming from a few places, so it's hard to tell exactly where the leak is coming from.

Probably needs a new copper washer or whatever seals it.
