Injector leaking 7.3 IDI

[newbyneeds2know]

My injector is leaking fuel as if it hasn't been screwed in all the way.

The injector will not turn any more to tighten it up. All illustrated parts breakdowns show there is no O rings on that portion of the injector.

What may have caused this and how can I fix this?

This is the first diesel engine I've worked on and I am at a loss. I need knowledge bad.

Thank you very much.

Why is this the wrong forum? My truck is down. I need it for work. I'm losing money.

911 diesel down.

I need assistance to get this thing up and running so I can go back to work.
I posted my problem here because thus far a couple of locals who tried their best to solve the issue failed. And now I'm being told this is the wrong forum even tho my situation fits the intro. I need immediate help. Whiskey Foxtrot Tango?

So tell me Mr Know it All, how do I solve my problem?

Do you mean it’s leaking where the line nut attaches to the top of the injector?
