It was noted in the survey that the engine primary racor filter #1 has leaking in its drain fitting. The recommendation was adding a bowl underneath the drain. It was not material and I thought it's better to just fix the leak.
now has been a full month since I did the fuel filter change. I placed clean oil pad under the racors to catch any fluid. only the engine racor #1 has pink stains on the pad. using a sponge pad to wipe, I found some fluid around drain fitting.
I remember there is an o-ring in the drain fitting. maybe it has worn out? has anyone seen the same leak?
