Hello folks, I'm getting what appears to be engine oil but smells like
diesel around the area of my front most glow plug directly next to the oil
sensor. It appears to be coming from the glow plug, but I am not sure.
Could be oil from the larger sensor next to the GP.
Should I try to retorque
Buy a yard of the fuel return line from Rusty and replace all the return
hose. That is the most likely source of the leak.

Are you sure it's not coming from the fuel return line? That's the
usual culprit.

The return line should be easy to check, by just looking for evidence of
soaking, no?

The overflow lines on the injectors are shot and the fuel is collecting
around the GP. If, instead, you get bubbling around the GP while
running, it's not seated correctly.
