So yes, closing a valve might eliminate the source of a leak ahead of it, but no, it won't eliminate a source behind it. None the less ... put value in who and what you're at ease with.
Fire Guy ... I forgot to ask ... have you had to top off your reservoir lately due to a low oil level? That would indicate an external leak.

No diesel I have not had to add fluid to the reservoir. No evidence of a leak anywhere. Its parked on concrete and no fluid to be seen
