My ve has a rubber boot on the back with what looks like a breather tube. It has diesel dripping out every couple seconds. What's up????

 

That means that you AFC is filling up with diesel. The cause is the little fuel pin, that rides on the big fuel pin, is no longer sealed inside the body of the AFC. Need new O-rings.

There is a good write up in the Sticky about how to go about replacing those seals.

 

Thanks

When my power screw o ring was leaking, it dripped onto that boot so check that also
