Leaking IP or NOT?
Last week, when the temps here got colder than usual (low 30s) the IP (or something near the IP) started leaking fuel onto the valley pan/starter/ground. Now that the temps are back to normal (50s) it has stopped leaking.
The engine always starts and runs fine, so there's no air in the system. Also, it leaked worse after sitting for several days without running, so the leak isn't related to fuel pressure either. I'm really confused, anyone have a story?

Are you sure the leak is there?
Looking at the valley pan, it don't look like the leak washed any of the dirt off, so any leak there must be tiny.
The fuel feed line in the center of the IP head may need to be tightened 1/8th turn.
