Installed this return line kit without Vitons about a month ago. Already took off the cap and tried to re-seat the o-rings again to see if this leak would stop on these two rear passenger side return caps. Still getting a minor leak... I didn’t have any leaks prior to this return line install, but when I did the install I noticed that the aft passenger side injector line seemed a bit off? The flare on the hard line seemed to come into the injector at an angle. When I tightened the line nut down on this one I was never confident that the flare end would sit properly on the injector. But then again, I never had a problem with it before and didn’t bend any lines so I want to say it is most likely the o-ring.
I’m ready to just buy vitons because of all the good reviews and longevity, but just wanted to throw this out to the forum and see if there was any other sage wisdom besides swapping the O-rings and making sure they are lubed during the install.
Oh, and with this leak by the injector, could the fuel pool up and ruin my gp? Could it also have potentially gotten in under my valve cover? I had poor valve cover gaskets and just replaced them yesterday (now doing awesome) I was getting an oil leak out the passenger side onto my starter.
I recently posted a photo of my oil dipstick and I thought my coolant may have been in my crankcase due to a water pump that went. But after the new flowkooler install and a coolant pressure test I know the cooling system is leak free and solid. So I have narrowed it down to possibly fuel in my crankcase :/ via this leaky injector or my mechanical fuel pump has the diaphragm ruptured and seeping in through there. I’ve been following the E-pump thread and am feeling motivated, especially because I have two weeks off right now. There was a really good how-to posted in the tech forum too from like 2012 that was great.
Leak seems to come in from the top of the plastic cap...
Thanks y’all and Merry Christmas!
