when I got home from work yesterday I parked in front of the garage door. I walked inside & saw a large puddle of diesel fuel on my garage floor from when I had parked there last night (didn't notice when I left).
guess I have a leak.
So I pop the hood and see the leak - looks like the little jumper fuel lines - one of them is soaked. Luckily I have some so I changed it out.
Started the car up and took a look. the #3 injector ('79 240D there are only 4) was leaking like crazy.
Now I had just replaced the nozzles about a month ago - so I guess its my fault - I grabbed a 17mm and went to tighten the fuel line and the entire top of the injector turned!
Yikes! it must have worked itself loose - of course now the engine is blazing hot so I have to wait until its cool to pull the 'jector and re-torque.
