Hey gang, To bring everyone up to speed, I had a fuel leak from the front s=
ide of the engine (1.6 NA in a 1982 Rabbit). I wasn't sure of the source so=
 I tried some different stuff.  1. I cleaned the fuel injector pump mount s=
ince I know I neglected to do it when I put the engine back together...it w=
as nasty dirty. 2. I checked all fuel lines (to/from) the pump to ensure th=
at they were tight and well mounted. Now I know there's still a fuel leak '=
cause when I try to turn it over to get it to start, it still pours fuel ou=
t of the engine. Now, it seems to be definitely from the area of the inject=
ors. Some thoughts/questions. 1. how hard is it ensure that the injectors a=
re seated properly? Can I just crank them down if they are loose? What type=
 of seat are they on? 2. how hard is it to ensure that that the fuel lines =
(stainless steel) are properly tightened on the injectors...they seem to be=
 on there right, should I put some pipe-dope (teflon tape) on the threads? =
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Mikey
