*update*
So I replaced the IP that had the leak and shimmed them as mentioned in this thread. I also suspected that there was some bad fuel so I kinda threw everything I had at the machine. I replaced the fuel and separator filters, did an oil change and a few upgrades.

I confirmed that it was leaking from the body of the IP. Once I had a bead of weld applied it stopped leaking. Just to be safe I ordered a new one.
When it comes to installing the IP I always only removed one at a time and was sure to move the adjustment pin far left. I've never had to force...

When I install the IP I turn the hose to move the raised portion out of the way.
I should have asked but I didn't think about it until now. You can hit a pushrod tube going in both directions. Did you turn the IP clockwise or counterclockwise to hit the pushrod tube?
The plot thickens. So I decided to pull the other IP and disassemble it to compare because prior to this I've only disassembled the leaking IP.
I've laid out the two, so the IP on the right is the untouched one. It has two extra parts that the other one does not. I've also attach a pic of...

I double checked the fuel line and when I put in all back together today I replaced the hose clamp with a new crimp clamp on the low pressure...
