Changed the HPOP gasket today, and still have the same leak. It doesn't seem to leak just sitting there idling, only when I take it out and drive it. I saw some oil on the front of the driver side head where the fuel return line goes in the head. Maybe the o-ring on the oil galley plug on the front of that head is leaking and it running down and out under the HPOP. IDK.....got frustrated with it and quit for the day. It won't leak idling, only when the ICP is up, so it's making it hard to find.

No leaks on the fitting or IPR. The oil is running from under the pump all the way up next to the front cover, and down the stair steps in the valley and pooling in the first low spot in the valley. I used an inspection mirror and looked at the bottom of the pump and IPR, and they are dry. The oil appears to be coming from all the up at the front cover. The only other place I can see any oil is toward the driver side head and up where the return line goes in the head. I only drove it 4 or 5 miles on snow covered roads again today, so no idea how it really runs.
