Put in new fuel injectors and replaced the fuel pressure regulator diapraghm.
The car runs fine now but there is gas seeping out from around the fuel pressure
regulator cover. I am confused as to why it's leaking. I did tighten the "security' torx
screws to a little more than the specified torque because it seemed too low.
I dont want to be driving it while it's leaking.

I re-read the service manual and it mentioned a "connection seal" but I dont recall
any seal or gasket when I took the fuel pressure regulator apart. I put in a GP-Sorenson
diapraghm by the way.

Any suggestions???

Thanks, Kit 85 GT

What did I do wrong???

Might have sandwiched the gasket to tight and tore it a little causing the leak. There is only one way to find out and that it taking it back apart and look.
