Fuel coming from glowplug?
I have fuel bubbling out of where the glowplug threads in. The plug is tight, but fuel is coming from the plug. What does this mean? Do I have an injector issue? Thanks again for all the responses and help.

Not to sound like an idiot, because I simply don't know, but aside from focusing on the return line, is there anything else that I need to be looking for? A buddy told me he thought I may need a new injector and if I was going to change one, I should change them all. 87 crew cab with 176,000. What are your thoughts?

I had the exact same problem, and I took out the glow plugs, cleaned the threads and put some anti-sieze (yes I know I wasn't supposed to) on them and torqued em down good. Problem went away. I swear it was fuel bubbling up and not just compression; cleaned em off twice to see it good.
