Just picked my 06 CRD from the shop after having the injectors changed. I noticed a small exaust leak noise coming from the engine. Its not terribly loud, just kind of a "putt, putt, putt" when at idle, and louder as you drive, Anyone know what this might be? CF |

I know there is a crush washer and an O ring that's associated with installing the injectors. Best bet is one or the other or both are not installed or one injector was not tightened correctly. |

You should be able to look where the injectors go into the cylinder head and maybe see some tell tail sign. You could also spray something like WD-40 around them to tell for sure. |

if you are going to remove the injectors i would probably replace copper crush washers and the orange o rings on them if they were already tightened to specified torque. |

Make the shop that replaced the injectors fix the injector leak. It is their fault, no excuse. |
