RE: Found a fuel leak...

*
Just a heads up.* I dont know about the our Perkins but our DD 671 fuel pump seal between the fuel and the oil pan leaked, allowed diesel directly into the oil pan, which dilute the oil and if enough diesel fills the pan the engine can run away.**

So make sure you check the oil level to make sue its not TOO FULL and/or diluted.* * **
