I was doing some reading last night after posting and largely came to the same conclusion. I did the DV's on the previous 2 IP's I had on the car (both duds) and decided to skip it on this one just to rule out a variable. Used IP, no weeping diesel on the top plate, but who knows, perhaps someone changed the O-rings in the past and reused the crush washers. I think this will be my next step. New washers, O-rings, and springs. We'll see.
