Installed Intake Hold down bracket oil leaking

[CJ2Rox]

So I just installed the intake hold down bracket. Simple install went for a ride and noticed oil leaking. I'm new to diesels what's leaking. All three bolts seem tight. What's did I do wrong? How do I fix?

Oil

All I did was undo the three bolts and slip in the bracket, and tighten back up. I have no idea why. It might be fuel but doesn't really smell like it. I'm also gimp right now due to ankle surgery so not at 100% to tackle the job. When I removed the three bolts I remembered something did move alittle. It could be fuel that would make more sense

So I assume the 4 bolts if removed exposes fuel pump. Maybe something like a O ring popped out but now that it's back in its pinched.... wish I can see the breakdown of the pump

I only removed the three left the 4th secured without removing or loosening. Why does it look like oil?

 

[CJ2Rox]

I think I got it. I undid the three screws and tried to tighten them so they all wnt even

I just want to clarify which bolts you removed. Green or red circle?

 

[CJ2Rox]

Three top green

 

[Colderweather86]

You mean top 3 red?

 

[CJ2Rox]

No so to add the bracket you remove the 3 of the 4 screws and slip on the bracket. Green the shinny bolts are ones removed the bracket it poor man's way of fixing intake boots leak. I only removed the gray wire holder and kit came with a screw to use to force intake down. $30 option over a new $300 DF intake.

If you removed the bolts that I have circled in green, that's the injection pump, and you screwed yourself. It's a HPCR fuel system. So the pump makes incredibly high fuel pressure that feeds the fuel rail on top of the engine. That's where the fuel mess you have is coming from.


Edit: I see the component has been updated since I got mine last year. I think you need to reach out to Wade to try and remedy the leak you have there. Having removed those bolts on the injection pump to install that bracket likely let whatever residual pressure that was in the pump blow past the seal.

Others have removed the three bolts and added the the bracket without issues. So I've adjusted the bolts and tightened them even and pretty sure problem is gone. No other way to put bracket on without removal of three

 

[CJ2Rox]

I re tightened all three equal, cleaned side of motor ran zero issues

Yes thank you
