Mack B Mike

Hello All,

I have a couple issues with my 56 B61 that im looking for some help with, I finally got my B Model running after it was sitting for ~15 years resolved the issues with the S/P switch, stuck rack and few other issues. When i run the engine for any time greater than 5 to 10 mins the is some black fluid that starts comming out of the exhaust also the liquid is comming out of a leaky ex manifold gasket at the #6 cylinder, im an not sure what is causing this but the liquid is flamable that is leaking, i am assuming that this is un burnt diesel but i am not sure what to do about this, the engine runs extremely well at idle and goverened speed, also starts very easily when warm, but needs a shot of ether when cold every time. to me it does not seem that a cylinder is not firing properly, along with the fuel leaking there is alot of blue smoke which does subside somewhat after engine has been running for ~20 minutes but still is present. ill take any ideas of a possible cause

thanks

Mike.
