HELP: Leak on top of motor!

[bigbadbud187]

HELP: Oil or fuel leaking from top of motor under fuel filter housing area! Anyone had this experience or know the procedure for repair? It's leaking all down the pass rear of the motor and caking my driveway!

check your fuel separator valve. its yellow,on back side of filter housing has two orings that leak.

search button will find you numerous threads on this.

if its oil its most likely Hpop, theres a couple threads on that as well

Ya, I just looked around the HPOP and it looks more wet around there than anywhere else. I'll order the o-rings and see where it gets me. Any other parts right there that should be replaced while in there?

The pump doesn't need to be removed to replace the o-rings. Just make sure that you have a torque wrench or you could strip out the threads in the pump and make really expensive junk really fast.
