Title: IP fuel leak
Post by: 4wheeler on September 03, 2010, 12:29:23 pm: Damn thing is leaking from the boost pin inside the LDA and filling up the cavity where the boost control pin is housed. In turn leaking out the vent.

Looks as if I can pull out a plug on the side of the LDA housing and see the little pin.

Is there a seal in there I`m guessing?
How would I go about fixing this leak. Looking for both a quick fix without having to pull the top off and a the proper fix for when the long weekend is over..

Any ideas???

True dat... the internal pump pressure can be over 100psi, so if it wants to leak its gonna!

Post by: burn_your_money on September 11, 2012, 06:16:22 pm: The cummins kit is the wrong sized shaft so you'll need to get a different driveshaft seal, and I don't know what size shaft the other one is. It looks like they are both missing the o-ring for the shut off lever on the LDA.

Post by: vako on December 10, 2012, 02:05:45 pm: i was hesitating if it includes seals for lda(that is my problem at the reall moment). and the seller does not have info about that. i also think that it should be the right choice for me ;D
