leaking fuel at injector point

Post by Bobm »

I motored about 5 hours yesterday and noticed about 4 oz of fuel in the bottom of my spotless drip pan...I have a Westerbeke 30b...the fuel is pooling in the well of one of my injectors and dripping down the side of the motor...this bleed point is tight...but the drip is annoying and it just started...this does not make sense to me because the motor runs fine...when I prime it with the 12volt pump there is no leaking...it only occurs when Im running the motor which leads me to belive it might have something to do with the return part of the process any help would be appreciated...Ive already posted on the westerbeke sight but their response is usually not as quick as here.
Thanks
