My 98.5 24v is leaking a ton of Diesel from a rounded head bolt looking thing on the underside of the VP44. Does anyone have any clue what this is? and how i can fix it? thanks and happy holidays

Sounds like you may have a bad squash washer, or a copper washer. Pull bolt out and make sure you have two copper colored washers on each side of bolt

thats what im kind of thinking but i dont know how to pull it out.. its not exactly a bolt it looks like some type of stud maybe its got a rounded head. so i cant put a socket on it.

Which fuel line connects to it? From filter or return line? It sounds like your describing the schrader valve used to get lp pressure.

there is no line connection to it. thats what get me. i can usally figure this kinda stuff out right away but iv got no idea with this. i tried to get in there to take a picture but its such a hard spot to get to with my phone.

okay so i got a picture of it but dont know how to upload it on here. what it is. is a little oval plate with 2 screws in it and the stud looking thing in the center

so you got a cover leaking...I see 2 torx screws holding it on.

looks like about a T-20 maybe T-25.

you need a torx driver or torx bit to pull the two screws, then replace the gasket in there, or make a new gasket with gasket paper or RTV for it...seal it up and call it good.

you can always get a telescopic mirror to help you see the bottom...
