Fuel Leakage

I'm getting a small fuel leak but I can't find it. Its coming from the bottom of the VP44 somewhere. Im not sure if its a line or the pump its pretty noticeable when you are under the truck but not enough to see drips in the driveway. Its noticeable though you can see its wet on the steering arm and laying on the frame in spots. Any ideas out there? Also its not enough to cause the truck to loose its prime or anything like that either.

Re:Fuel Leakage

Jamie when you changed injectors you may have developed a leak at the head & its running down under the pump.Get a can of brake clean & wash the lines at the head down real good then blow dry the area with compressed air this will make it look clean & dry & alot easier to see the leak.It may be coming from the 19mm nut on the line at the head you may have to torque these down a little more but dont over tighten them.Check all your banjo bolts & if you have a fuel pressure gauge hooked up check that connection also.good luck kurt.

Re:Fuel Leakage

The fuel pressure is great no probs there and non of the fuel lines are leaking that was my first guess its like its coming from one of the VP's lines or somewhere abouts.
