fuel leaks driving me crazy
I have had several leaks over the last couple days started with leaking pump so i changed that along with the all new hoses except the blue one on the front of the filter housing. Also new o-rings on the fuel bowl heater grommet and water in fuel sensor. can't see any obvious leaks from any where else there are o-rings. Thinking it could be the banjo bolt washers because one was bent but reused it and don't see it leaking there or a cracked filter housing. Any suggestions would be great, bought ready to take it to a mechanic as much as i hate to

clean out the vally. completely dry. get a good light and let the truck idle.
you have to find out if fuel is coming from front or rear. i had same problem.
one of my fuel lines on front drivers side had a split in it. it should have a
plastic sleeve around it for protection. it could be seeping out and running
to back of engine. pull the sleeves off and look for dampness.
good luck im still learning myself lol

Decided to go for broke on the truck about the leaks and get a complete o-ring kit for the bowl, new WIF sensor, new heating element grommet because it is leaking where the spade is, new lines that run from the bowl to the heads, ,might get a HPX cross over line. I am open to any other things that might leak that i should fix. One more thing i might add when i took the Y-pipe from the turbo outlet there was a fair a mount of oil in the outlet, I know the 7.3 uses a closed crank case ventilation system put the amount of oil in there seems like the seal in the turbo might be leaking kind of want to hold out for a H2E turbo and inter cooler but if i have to fix now how hard is it to do

I think that sensor is on the bottom of the housing on my 95 not a hundred percent sure but could go easy look sense the housing is out while waiting for all of my parts to show up, what size is the fitting there i could just plug it because i change the filter every 4 or 3 thousand miles, what about the blue line that runs on the front of the housing

Any body know where I can get the lines that run from the bowl to the heads going to check are local napa store but if i can't find them there were else can i look, probably going to plug that sensor off so i don't have to deal with it anymore. Wishing i had the money for a CPR fuel system from diesel site with as much problems as i am having with the bowl
