    Can you guys please let me know where you think I'm leaking from? You're looking at the bottom of a Cummins X15. Do you think it's the oil pan gasket or something more serious? TIA

    You could clean it all off and confirm the leak area to return. The small nature of the leak it may not come back right away.

    My money is on the fuel pump gear pump oring between the gear pump and the high pressure pump. Fairly easy inexpensive repair.

    Thank you for the reply. How many hours is acceptable for labor? How much can I expect to pay?
