3033 H with fuel leak

[AUSTENNN10]

I have a 1.5 year old 3033H. The leak is on the right side of the engine. There is a bolt the has a metal tube coming out of it. Where it screws into the engine the threads are weeping diesel. Nearest dealer is 3 hours away. Don't know how big they are as it looks like a 1 man show. The repair issue was apparent when I bought the tractor (in MO) but I tossed the dice that it would not need a repair. First I need to identify where the leak is from, then see how hard it would be to fix.

Looks like just the crush washers on the banjo fitting. Should be an easy fix.

Have you tried to just snug up the bolt a bit --- may be a really simple fix??? But, I agree --- may need to replace the crush washer between the fitting and the block.

Bingo. Had a similar problem with my XR 30302H, but mine was one of the hydraulic lines under the seat. Mine was under warranty, and was repaired quickly.

You could try to tighten it up some, but don't get the gorilla arms out doing so. It may wring off. I'd go ahead and contact LS to get the right parts in and then have them on hand in case something happens.
