Diesel Fuel leak

[pattypape]

Chris,

Follow the previous posts, get it clean, this is good advice.

In the 3208 Cat manual there is a picture of two rear drain plugs,
These plugs have O ring seals, Check these seals. Careful because
fuel runs out of these holes.
I will second Jeff motion, It is probably the throttle rod seal.
I will add an additional posting on this topic.
