But now I have a leak from what I think is the return line on the back of the head?

There is a o-ring kit for the tee on the return line and also there is 2 banjo bolt washers on the banjo at the back of the head.

 I would only say that because of when you bleed the engine and it idles like trash until the lines are tightened down..

I never crack any line for priming. Like my last swap of injectors I just install tighten all my lines and fired it up. Never bled a single line at all. Yes it still runs like trash after it starts but a few good hard revs of the throttle and its idling smooth.

Yep.  I'm going to see if I can get my iPhone or a mirror back there. I want a visual that it is causing the leak.  I did get fuel with my rubber white glove test...just want to be sure.  I know my local Cummins dealer has the banjo's in stock.  We'll see what drips overnight...pin point it. :thumb1:

Your are dealing with a washer that is 15 years old and on the cylinder head. If turns out not to be the leak it will be on day soon. I have swapped all of mine thru the years and one that leaks looks just like a plain washer. Get you a new one and you will see the difference. They rubber just gets hard.

Like I'll be due to do this project very soon. I'm still running leak free be eventually Murphy's Law will get me...

 

Suggestion pull the valve cover it will give your hand a wee bit more room to get in there.

Evidence seems clear enough.  Still curious as to why it started leaking after doing an injector job?  Very well could have been slowly leaking over time (from a tiny to a blatant leak).  My tee fitting is dry but below that is the return line going to the tank and it's leaking there as well (not as bad as the banjo leak).  It's right where the quick connect fitting is.  I'll start with the banjo leak and go from there.
