Help i have a diesel leak which is driving me mad as i cant find it when the cars ticking over on the drive way!
If i do a long run and pop the bonnet there is a strong smell of diesel on closer inspection the top of the oil filter and the metal fuel lines are wet im not losing lots of diesel as the economy is not suffering for it!
I recently changed the leak off pipes between the injectors and the pipe that goes back to the pump to rule them out but still it persists!
So i guess now its either a tiny whole in one of the metal injector pipes that i just cant see or the fuel return to the tank if thats what it is!
Underneath the inlet manifold and coming off the back of the pump where the leak off pipe plugs into is a small plastic pipe and it goes into a bigger piece of pipe then back to small so asume thats the fuel return line i may stand corrected! but that always looks to be wet!
If anyone has had similar or can offer some advice to a novice it would be appreciated!
