Hey layback40,
I, too, have heard that the delivery valve seals are the usual source for fuel leaks, especially when the whole top of the pump is wet with fuel (don't ask me how I know this). I've been told, however, that it's not that big a deal to replace the o-rings and crush washers to effect a cure. I've ordered o-rings and washers, and hope to cure this problem on my W201. Am I foolish to try?
Kurt
