Mike,
The fuel issue is a bit of a mystery.
The two hard lines from the bowl to the fuel rails on my engine were looking a bit worse for wear and I replaced
them with steel braided teflon lines and "Proflow" AN style fittings.
Check you lines and see if they have any hairline cracks.
Just a stab in the dark I admit and there are other more knowledgeable members that may be able to solve it.
As for the HP oil lines leaking the answer is yes, they can leak that much oil, it is under a very high pressure.
I advise you to get a new set of lines.
These are what I used on my engine.
CNC FABRICATION 7.3L E99-03 COMPLETE REPLACEMENT HPOP AND HPX LINE KIT - 99-03-ENGINE - POWERSTROKE 99-03 - Products
They are an excellent product and are well worth the cost.
If you read post six in this thread

you will find a list of many links to info and products that you may
find helpful.
Best of luck.

Guys, I need advise. I have replaced the two discharge fittings with new o rings. However I could not get the springs to stay inside the fitting when threading it in. I am concerned that if the spring did not find the hollow of the fitting then it will currently be compressed. What are your thoughts, would hate to start engine and cause damage.

The best advice I can offer is read these two documents,
http://www.dieselorings.com/docs/8-02xfittings.pdf
http://www.dieselorings.com/docs/fullHPOP.pdf
if you have not already done so.
I have completely rid myself of the quick release fittings
so I have no hands on experiecne with servicing them.
Hopefully some other FTE members can be more helpful.

Thanks for the input Brian, I had gone through those guides.
I was hopeful the spring was seated ok and started it. All good now no oil leak. However I have since learnt that buying the orings from the states is not the best method. You can get the end plugs completely assembled for $56 each in Australia from F series diesel spares Brian 0425 818 171
9748 1229.
The fuel leak was a hairline crack in the fuel filter cap.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Cheers. Mike
