The system was actually smoke tested and no leaks-other than the small one from base of distributor - were found. I will check runners but what is the stud that can be pulled out?

very good thought.
yep..that's easy to do on the 1.9.  Common almost.

Hopefully  the original poster has listened 'all over' carefully with a

Very obvious when the hose end is very close to even a tiny intake air
leak.
