Fuel leak front of engine need help!! Got a road trip planned for Friday
I've got fuel leaking... to the point it is dripping on the driveway. Front of motor is really wet dripping down behind the dampener from above. I looked around the pump and it is also appears wet in that area but not dripping as it is more toward the front.
Any ideas?? I'm guessing it is pump / line related. I know... no crap!!!
I thought my starter was on it's way out as it has been turning slowly. I just finished up a cable change out and charging system and Batteries are all good. The starter has 159,000 on it. Not sure if the slow starting is fuel leak related or not. I'm thinking no, since the fuel leak just began to be noticeable during the last 24 hours.
I have noticed recently thought that it is taking time to start like an 8 count. Slow crank and then it fires strong. Before the fuel leak, I attributed it all to the failing starter. It runs down the road great, no missing or hiccuping at all. Idles nice and smooth as well.
I've had this rig for two years and have yet had to venture to 'the land of the pump". What is the best way to get to this in order to get a good look to see what is going on. Could someone just list in order the stuff that has to come off???
What makes me even more ticked, is that I'm supposed to make a 200 mile run this weekend. So time is of the essence for me.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.
