That's good to know, I was frustrated to see that the valve cover looks leak free and have to pull everything apart again. I suppose raw diesel leaves either hard-line or return line. While I will probably spot this tomorrow, would it make more sense for this to be return line given that I have no starting issues, MPG according to trip is about right and return line wouldn't give any faults, it would just be noticed on the fuel tank needle?
Do you also think that under the right conditions (enough diesel pooled, going up hills/over bumps) that the diesel would go over that half circle and down the back left by exhaust to explain the randomly occurring smoking.
