fuel leak

[jag7720]

I seem to have a fuel leak that wasn't there a week ago. It is dripping from the torque converter cover.

When increasing the fuel rate I replace the sealing washer on the guide rod and the cover gasket... but it is still leaking.

Can someone clue me in to any common fuel leak areas?

Thanks

fuel lines (hoses) one is 3/8 inch one is 1/4 inch. about a foot long each.

checked all that... most of the lines are new

What I just noticed was ... there is an arm on the lower right side of the pump... it looks wet and the allen heas bolt that goes thru it seems to be un-screwed a few turns...

Thoughts?

time for a new pump.. sounds like the seals are dried out and leaking. That adjuster bolt is only in there a couple turns. Not too much of it sticks out and hits that plunger.

Talking with The Pump Guy on Diesel Place and he seems to think it is a flex plate issue.
