Yes, it has a brand new CDR valve, oil cap has been cleaned and tested OK. Being at the passenger rear, I checked the back of the valve cover by wiping it with a white rag, no fresh oil mark. Its another one of those, only leaks when you're not looking at it scenarios. I'll be inspecting it...
Well..perhaps I spoke too soon. A closer look just now at what is still collecting at the front of the starter shows it to be engine oil, there is no smell of diesel, and intake valley is completely dry. Rather than start a new thread, I'll continue here. Sure there are plenty of minor oil weep...
Well to end this story. It seems that the 3/8'' filter input rubber line was the source of my leak. I also managed to get my arm under the manifold and tighten the clamp on IP input. Didn't replace it yet becuase it looks fine, so I'll leave it for now.
Drove last night for a couple of hours...
Well, drove last night for 30 minutes, just checked underneath. Barely a minor amount of discernible wetness. Will take it out for longer today. Of course my main suspects remain the filter to IP 1/4" rubber line at the IP end and the hard line from lift pump to filter. This line is hard to see...
As the only wet area I could find where a leak could occur, I replaced the rubber line between lift pump hard line and fuel filter. Sourced a spring that fits around the 3/8 fuel line so it wont wear a hole rubbing against the CDR mount bracket. The old hose actually looked pretty good, with...
Well...the IP, all its lines and the valley underneath it are all dry. It really seemed to be coming from the pre-formed hose between filter housing and lift pump hard line. The 1/4 IP hose looked dry. I suppose my question would be to anyone who has had to replace it. Can you use regular 3/8...
So, noticed fuel down at my bellhousing cover drain hole and at bottom of starter next to block. Its draining down from the intake valley. Took off air cleaner assembly to get a better look. All the lines at the IP are dry, it looks like its coming somewhere halfway down the valley. I suspect...
