Had a real small diesel leak over the last few months, like Barely making the starter wet afte a few weeks. Narrowed it down to the 2 actuators on the right side. Ordered gaskets from Vander Haags for all 4 actuators, they come in a package with “interstate-Mcbee” on it instead of Cummins.
Installed on all 4, had 2 leaking BAD! Like a fkn sprinkler when I try to start the truck. Pulled the leaking ones off and it looks like I had the new gasket off center some. Put old gasket back on retorqued and 1 sealed up but the other is still seeping slowly. Is there a truck to this? Should go grab some Cummins gaskets and try again?
I don’t suspect anything from injectors, I do oil analysis every change at 15k and it looks great nothing unusual. And truck idles and runs great. Any advice????? I’m panicking! Gotta load booked for tomorrow ugh

Are you certain they are leaking from the actuator mounting? Leaking out the electrical connectors is also extremely common. Dry it up and pinpoint the exact starting point of the leak.
pushbroom, spsauerland, QUALITYTRUCK and 1 other person Thank this. -
My experience with my ISX is use only Cummins parts.

This is the style I have. Should I be using the o rings instead of metal gaskets??

Got it sealed up. If your actuators are flat with no recess, you need to use metal gaskets. If they have recesses like mine you need o rings. Part #’s below
