I have the 6V92TA in my coach and I set the fast idle switch and before I could turn it off the engine revved to about 2300RPM's.  I noticed where the Turbo and the exhaust connects to the T-joint or what ever it is that it was leaking fuel.  What could I have possibly have done here?  The engine runs fine.

Thanks

Eagle,that is unburned fuel from idling DD like a load on them

Eagle, I think there's no reason for concern if it reved to 2300. As luvrbus said, when you idle a 2stroke  DD in the yard for various reasons (working on it, whatever) It soesnt get hot enough to burn all the fuel that goes into the cylinders. (may be a simplistic explanation, but thats the jist)
  So, after those "cold" idling periods, unburnt fuel builds up in the exhaust components and when you finally get ready to drive the bus (Or run it wide open in the yard ;-)...) it blows that unbunt fuel out.
  Other than scaring you, it should be fine- HTH
