I think one's own self is the way to go. If I had known that was the
source of the leak I would have fixed it myself. I looked all over and
thought it was one or more of the connections at the Fuel Heater (which
I fixed several years ago). I should have accepted their leak testing
and then made the repair but I was lazy I guess ;-^
I found the small gasket on the crossover pipe was missing and they had
tried to use Gasket Maker so I put a new gasket I had in my box of
engine parts and fasteners along with the large O-Ring on the X-Over
near the Turbo. At least I know that they are not a problem anymore.
When my wife & I were running errands it dawned on me the shop probably
didn't get the air out of the fuel lines between the IP and head. Even
driving at speeds of up to 60mpg failed to fix it, but I believe the
air will only be removed if the fuel lines are cracked, right? I am not
positive, but I suspect they may not have bled the fuel lines at all but
just started it and told me they were done.
Anyway, I plan to bleed them shortly and we'll find out if that was the
problem.
Thanks Guys!
