Default Fuel leak..

All right guys, I fixed my gasket leak this weekend (tappet covet) and no more leaks... 2 days later thro I now have a fuel leak and it's dripping from the bottom of the tranny. Any ideas where is might be comeing from? Also have a code of a bad tps but found out if you ever unhook one you have to real cal it so I fixed that problem... Thanks for and advise also it's stock everything!

There is a banjo fitting on the back of the head for return fuel from th injectors. It runs to a Tee fitting for pump return, and to tank. I checked mine last night, and found the one into the back of the head to be a little loose. An articulated arm, foul language, and a 11/16" wrench will get the banjo on the back of the head, 9/16" for the fitting on the Tee.

^^^^^ this. if you got fuel running down the trans, its probably the head banjo fitting. 12x1.5 is the fitting size i took mine out and put a steel braided line in with -an fittings to stop the leaking forever

Does it start hard after sitting? A common complaint of these fitting loose is hard starts after being parked up hill.

Na it starts fine the biggest this is it will not leak when the key is on and motor is not running... But when the motor is running or just after being shutdown it will leak some
