If I have the infamous fuel bowl drain leak will it cause enough low pressure in the bowl to cause a bit of white smoke at WOT?

It's dripping pretty steady I figured that as I start using more throttle the pressure would build and leak more through the drain

I deleted my fuel bowl when I did my Strictly Diesel RR. Best thing I have done to the truck so far. Now I do not worry about a leaking fuel bowl and have better filtration than ever along with getting rid of the "dead head" design.

Yes, and recently it's been getting worse. I just ordered a complete fuel bowl seal kit from riffraff so I am going to replace everything and be sure there is no pressure drop due to any leaks. I have noticed my truck lacking a little on the power and kind of rocking after stopping sometimes

well, got the fuel bowl completely resealed and cleaned. and no more puddle under the truck, and no more powerloss/white smoke. :) Guess there was enough pressure drop to notice
