Hello I have a B6000E and I have diesel/oil leaking from around both injectors.. I replaced one injector gasket and it didn't fix the problem.. the injector seems to have a loose fit.. would that be the injector(s) or the head causing that? What originally caused the problem is I flooded the engine and it revved out of control. after that I started seeing smoke and small amounts of diesel coming from around the front injector. it ran for a few times after that, and now won't start at all. then today I noticed the rear injector is also leaking diesel any ideas?

WOW, yea it's very possible with your injector style that it fractured, cracked or warped the injectors to the point where they won't seal.

Make sure diesel is just not coming out of the connection where the feed line attaches.

Before you throw in the towel, take the hold down nuts off and add another flat washer or two on the bolt under the nut, just to make sure the hold down nuts are not just bottoming out on the studs and not putting enough pressure on the gaskets. ;)
