New fuel filter head, base and cartridge. Original fuel pump, 1990 8K genset. Fuel now leaking out at the top of the injector pump, just the center one leaks. Never had this before. Fittings have never been touched, still original paint on the hex heads. You can see the fuel puddling around the fixture. The leak is during shut down time as well as when running. Fuel tanks are usually over half full as now, putting about a 2' head of fuel above this area.
Question - is this just a 'snug them up' and be done or does someone see something deeper going on? Genset has ~3,000 hrs. and runs most excellently.
