Fellow LD28ers:
My new to me maxi is a 1983 5spd diesel with 140k miles on it. I am trying to figure out if I need more than a valve cover gasket for the leaks on the side of the engine. Could this also be some sort of seals around each of the fuel injectors that are leaking as well? Any recommendations?
Clean it up real good there and then you should be able to see where the leak originates. My bet is on the VC gasket; I haven't seen much leaking from the injectors or return. Be careful to not overtighten the VC because it will end up cutting right thru the new gasket.
