Greetings, I have a 1981 CD 28 sailboat, and the fuel injection pump is leaking..... any suggestions on getting a rebuilt one or where to have this one rebuilt?

A photo of what exactly is leaking might inform a response. Are you sure it is the pump itself?

Yes, had a volvo specialist tune the engine, change filters and explore the leak. It can be rebuilt, but the question seems to be who could do it and do it properly. There seems to be many unreliable providers on the Chesapeake. Will get a photo today and post.
