Steve,
I wouldn't think the leak would have anything to do with the idle.
As for the idle speed, my TD does not like to idle below 1000 either.
I think 1000 or even a little higher is perfectly acceptable. Anybody
else have an opinion? (Should you measure your idle speed with the
clutch in or out? It makes a difference. If you did get your engine
to idle at say 600 RPM, it would probably die when you pushed
in the clutch.)
