[QUOTE="MH47Wrench, post: 1422672, member: 26303"] Finally had time this weekend to do some checking. No huge puddles on the ground. A couple drips under the oil pan, maybe the size of a half dollar. Coolant looks perfect, fuel bowl doesn't show any signs of oil. Fuel filter is a little dark but not black. I suppose I should consider all of this good news in some sense. Let me pose this question and see if anyone has an 'ah-ha' moment:. When I did my injector o-rings, I hydralocked the engine. (Grand moment of stupidity on my part). I only tried cranking it a couple times before I realized what was going on. I pulled all my glow plugs and turned the engine over 3 or 4 times with a socket on the crank pulley. Put my glow plugs in and everything was good. Here we are months later and it is hard starting when cold. I let the glow plugs cycle and hit the key. Most of the time i get a single 'click' like the battery is dead. If I immediately try the key again it might start on the 5 the try. Once it's running everything runs great. If I try to start it warm, it takes right off. To say I'm stumped would be an understatement. [/QUOTE]
