New pulsation damper leaking?
I paid 135 bucks for a new one from mazdatrix. I put it on last weekend. Today I smelled gas. I can see liquid under the UIM. Has anyone else had this happen? I think it has to be the PD. I have all new hoses. Maybe it's leaking around the crush washer, but I doubt it. I'm wondering if those parts are left over from 1988? If they're old the rubber would be shot, even if they weren't used, if they were stored in a warehouse without climate control.

I re-used the crush washers, and that may be the problem. I have a new one (the special one) to put on, if that's the problem. I cleaned and de-burred the old ones before I re-used them. I was just curious to see if anyone had a new PD leak on them. I hope it's just the washers. Luckily I have something else to drive. It's too cols to work on it right now. You don't have to remove the injectors to change the PD. When I changed the engine I had my injectors professionally serviced. They're not leaking.
