Question Fuel priming / air leak theory

hi all,

I replaced my diesel fuel filters on my 300D yesterday.

Replaced, filled with fuel, primed, started right up. Sporadically now on startup or seconds thereafter it has a couple stutters which are air in the fuel system.

Is it possible I just need have trapped air somehow and need to re-prime, or do I definitely have an air leak?

I think the answer is air leak, but just wanted to confirm.

thanks,
dd
