    that engine has the 6 individual cam driven fuel pumpers. A failed pumper or orings. Fuel supply pump is gear driven & could also cause it.

    This. EUP pump o-rings have been known to leak. Most common problem is fuel transfer pump, leaking fuel past drive gear seal.

    Like these guys said, it could be a number of things. I wouldn't hesitate to fix it, though. I've been told that it will wipe out your bearings if it gets diluted enough

    Having seen this before and repairing such issues on many occasions, I Would have to agree with others, injector 'o' rings would be first place to look.
