Hello All,
Today I was changing the oil and fuel filter getting ready for Bristol next week. I noticed each injector seemed to leaking They are not gushing out fuel, but the area under the injectors is noticibly wet. It's not wet wet just well wet. I was surprised to see this at only 18000 miles.
Should I take it in or is this normal. I will be pulling 7000 lbs down the wva turnpike next week so I don't want any problems. The truck seems to be running normaly and no noticible problems.
Thanks,
Jim

 

I will assume you are talking about around the injector lines on the head. You can tighten them a little and it might help. Mine has always had a damp appearence around them. Others I have seen are the same way. It hasn't cause me a problem other that collecting dirt.

Oh yea the actual injectors are under the valve cover.

 

Mine are wet there as well as a few of them on the other end where the bolt to the fuel rail. Didn't think it was much to worry about, because there's such high pressure in the rail, if it was a real leak you'd know it.
