Hilmar0 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hi, question for those more experienced than I... Just checking over the car before going out for a blast and noticed a small mist cloud around an injector as engine was running. I appear to have a fuel leak from the upper exposed part of the injector, pipe is secure. Is it likely just to require removal, replacement of o ring etc or do they crack? Should I just replace? Any immediate thoughts? Had the car for nearly a year now and not had to do anything other than drive it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hilmar0 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Fault diagnosed: crack in the fuel pipe elbow connecting to the injector. Probably been used as leverage that caused the weld to fail. Spraying a fine jet of fuel over the injector manifold. Thanks for the help Andrew, very much appreciated.
