So at the tail end of a 700 mile trip this weekend, I noticed what felt like a small miss. I confirmed that my mileage was starting to fall off and at my last fuel stop I smelled a little diesel odor. I opened the hood and found that I have a leaking injector line, right at the pump. I am guessing there's an "olive" or oring under the nut, and I'm going to start doing some research, but I have zero tools, it's 26 degrees out, I gotta go to work tomorrow, I'm in a hotel, and I've been up for three days
I drove it for about 60 miles on 5ish cylinders as it seems to run better at 75 mph than 60 mph, although I betting it's leaking more at elevated speeds too. Do you go slower with a rougher engine or faster and pump more fuel on the ground? I went faster
As always, any help is appreciated, and of course if there's anybody on here with a warm shop (or knows a reputable shop?) in Rockford I'd be more than happy to pay for a quick fix. I just got here and I haven't figured out anything past where the best chicken wings are thus far....
