I know I read somewhere to change the o rings in the valve, but can not find that info, and I am not sure how to change them.
Does the whole bowl have to be removed?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Phil

No, you don't have to remove the whole bowl, but the valve is a little hard to get to. There are 4 torx screws holding it to the bowl, and a rubber hose connector (slip on) to the metal drain tube.
You might have to remove some things that are in the way (glow plug wiring harness?, etc.) to get in there. A 1/4" ratchet with the proper size torx bit (#20 IIRC) will get them loosened, but you'll probably want to reach down to turn the bit by hand once they're loosened, because there isn't much room to swing the wrench.
Also be careful not to drop things into the "Valley of Death" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif, although a missing bolt reappeared /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif down there when I o-ringed my drain valve.
Once you have the valve off, the o-rings just slip into recesses on the face of the valve.
