m35a2 fuel system question?

[okcbat]

Was wondering if any of you people might be able to help me. Ive found a drip what i believe to be diesel on the left side of the engine compartment above the turbo. it drips fuel down onto the tubro causing it to smoke. the part is mounted next to a part that looks to be a spark plug , can anyone tell me what part that is co i can order a new one, i feel like a woman trying to explain how to put fuel in a car, appreciate the help

Sounds like your flame start assist. It is for cold weather only. Disconnect and plug the fuel supply until you can repair the leak.

Post a pic so we can see exactly what you may need. The apparatus you are referring is the flame heater.

You need to check your lines they may be leaking. It is for your cold start.

OKCBAT,
Good tips already given.
But just for future reference: Turbo is on the RIGHT side.
Think of right & left as when you're sitting in the driver's seat.

Yessss. Yes indeed. One of us had mind control over the other two. Follow me, my little pretties. Soon more will join us.

Where i have noticed the drip is on the bottom below the clear line, ive checked the lines for tightness, seems like they are sealed
