My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

Still chugging along, waiting for the illusive "right time" to tear into things, where comfortable reserves are built up and freight is slow. Not sure if such a scenario exists haha.

Found some issues;

Charge air boot @ turbo seems to be porous, and is misting oil?

Cold coolant leak on the turbo sealing washer.

Fuel pump is seeping, seems to be around bolts?

And the high pressure hot a/c line from the compressor is seeping oil.

Still not quite sure why fuel economy fluctuates so much. One day I struggle to get high fives, and the next I can pull close to 7 without hardly trying. One would think if I had a broken ring or hole in a piston it would at least be consistent?
