Fuel Leak Developed After Thottle Linkage Adj
Just had my car in the shop for a coolant flush and a lube/adjustment of the throttle linkage. I noticed almost immediately afterward a minor fuel leak has developed.
Now, I realize that, with an older vehicle (not to mention the introduction of ULSD), fuel leaks will not be uncommon....in fact, I had two fixed a couple of months ago. But does anything come to mind that might have been inadvertently damaged/loosened by the work done on the throttle linkage? If it's unlikely there's any relation, I'm happy to foot the bill. But if turns out to be a classic case of maintenance induced failure, I want to be able to press the point. Thanks for your help.

PS....the leaks I had fixed were the injector seals and the fuel thermostat.
