 |
|
| Hello, I can see some fuel drops coming off the accumulator. Is the accumulator most probably the cause or is there somewhere around it that is more likely to leak and then drip to the accumulator? That thing can be pricey, so I want to check any easy and cheap things first. Thanks. |

There is a small screw on the bottom of the accumulator. Remove it and if fuel comes out of the hole then the accumulator is bad and needs to be replaced.

Yes, that'd be the accumulator. Seems to be a common problem after resuscitating these cars; start applying fuel pressure to an old accum., and it soon starts leaking. Had this happen with both my turbos. Paragon sells the accumulator for about $100.
