Injector Leak???
I have a 1990 E-350 with a 7.3,one of the injectors is leaking where it screws into the intake.I don't know if it screws into the intake or just pushes in with an o-ring,over nite its losing prime and I can see it leaking from around the injector,very little but leaking.Would that cause it to lose prime in one nite.Any help would be appreciated,Thanks.

the injector isnt leaking , its the return line fitting one top of it
there are two oring on top of each injector that seal the plastic fitting to the injector body an air leak here allows the fuel to be siphoned back too the tank overhight
also the fuel hose could be leaking there
if they are old replace all of the orings and hoses

gotti1962 and northern 7.3,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.
The injector screws into the head, but your leak is the return line tees.
A return line set can be bought for around 35 or 40 dollars at most diesel fuel injection shops.
