New to the forum. Have a 1983 240, new to me, with a300turbo dropped in several years ago. Just ran it from California to Newfoundland Canada, quite a trip, burned about 1 - 1.5 qts oil whole trip. Car runs really well, rides well etc. etc.

I have noticed that in the last couple of weeks, I am starting to see little drips of what I thought was oil coming down off the rear of the motor, and at first thought it was the oil filter gasket where it attaches to block. Looking closer it would appear that I have some fuel on the tops the two end injectors, seems like it is seeping out through the injectors themselves?!?! The return line, braided stuff seems ok, but maybe around where they push on leaking?!?! Top pan is not leaking. I have ordered a book for the engine, but was not in stock, and will not get it til later, so I am taking advantage of all you folks out there.

Question, do the injectors leak internally causing them to weep out, ie: is there an O-ring inside somewhere, is it diy, or have them rebuilt? Or is it the injectors are likely leaking back up around the threads, and a hot engine will evaporate around the threads and I am not seeing that part when I am checking.

In addition, the engine is a little harder to start the last two weeks or so, mostly because of dropping temps and the glow plugs are very old, and the light does not come on... Plug it in for about 2 hrs, and it fires up right away, so I think new glow plugs will help that...

Last bit of info, I have run a couple of mixed tanks of vegetable oil in the engine, and it runs fine as well, but I am wondering if the weeps around the injectors is somehow related?!?
