Can you post pictures of the components that are leaking?

The KV6 engine shouldn't shake on idle, it's absolutely silky-smooth. You can almost balance a coin on the top with it running.

If it rocks when you engage D or R, then the lower tie bar is the likely cause.

Yes. The large bush I've circled goes soft, allowing the engine to rock.

If you can move the engine by hand, then that bush has failed.

Hi Nodge68 , hope you’re doing well.
Here is a pic of what a leak present . Have a look at the black arrow . I figured out things... No fuel leak while engine is running. Fuel leaks when engine off. Furthermore fuel leak stopped when I opened fuel filler cap and hissing sound were there... i was thinking of no pressure release in system. So. Might be a defective fuel cap or purge valve.. what do u personality think?!
