Fuel leak

So I installed the blue spring upgrade kit and a mew fuel filter cap since my original broke putting it on. Now I am leaking fuel on top of the motor with no clear signs as to where or why. Any suggestions or ideas?


Thanks

If you're talking a 6.0, then there is a strong possibility you either didn't fully tighten something, or worse, cut an o-ring during installation. There's also the possibility you forgot an o-ring.
