Hey guys,
I changed my injectors out this past weekend on the explorer with cleaned and reflowed ones. Today while I driving I noticed there was a faint fuel smell inside the cabin of the truck. When I popped the hood, I got hit with a big smell of it. I looked on the passenger side of the motor toward the back injector- there was a little puddle of fuel. I don’t know if that puddle is from fuel that leaked when I pulled the old injectors, or if there is a leak around the seals of the new injectors? (It’s been a solid 48 hours now since the injectors were replaced)
Now, when I pulled the old injectors a lot of fuel did spill out but I figured it might evaporate under the heat under the hood? How can I tell if fuel is leaking beyond the seals at all? Any ideas?
