Default Air leak.

Ok guys on my 01 2500 I have acquired an air leak that is letting the system loose prime when it sits. Only takes about 30 min to do this. I've replaced o ring washers on feed side line, and on the return side at the banjo bolts. Also replaced the T fitting and gaskets. Replaced the fuel bowl drain, and the entire return line. All injector lines are good, and no sign of diesel in oil for crossover tubes. Now when I did the T and the return line it had no issues for about 24hrs. Then it came back so I went through and checked everything again today. No signs of leaks or faulty connections. Anybody have some ideas?? Because I'm all out.

I've replaced o rings on everything . And yes check valve on VP is good. I'm about 99% sure it's the banjo at back of the head. It keeps backing out.
