Depends what's causing the leak that will ultimately decide the cost. Not clued up on the injectors but the sump will either be the gasket or the plug (or at the very worst the sump itself) you'd need to drain the oil to fix any of them then rectify the fault. At a guess no more than 100 quid but I dunno where u stay and labour charges do vary a lot. Mind keep checking ur oil level u don't want to run out!! Clutches tend to go round about the 100k mark so I believe. Anything upwards of 200 quid I'm sure I've heard (again depending on location etc etc) hope that helps n I'd imagine someone will correct me if I'm wrong

Couple of things to note.
Transit Conncts have a 2 part sump. First is the sump that is silicone gaskets and the next part is a rubber gasket. This requires gearbox out to remove. I have had a nightmare job on one of these. Wasnt leaking from sump. Look up in corner where the alternator is. Is it leaking from that area? Chances are its not sump its leaking from timing chain plate gasket that bolts to block. BIG JOB.
As for injecfor leak your running Siemens injectors and good chance its just the leak off pipe kit. Get a new unit from Fords. Does the pipe and the connectors all built in. Probably seal split.

What sort of price can I be expected to pay then for both the jobs and the big job. I've been quoted £1100 for a new clutch for my van.

Update
Been garage today turns out its not the sump that's leaking but the oil filter so just need another one fitted. the diesel leek is one of the injectors leaking but the injectors seized in so going need specialist tools but everyone around me asnt got them one place wants 150 to just get the thing out before they've even decided what the problem is and ford want 500 for a replacement injector.

Like i said. Injector leak on thise will be leak off pipes on those injectors.
The are NOT Delphi injectors. They are Siemens injectors. Repair concwpt is not out yet. Have tried and with no real sucess yetnfor parts. New injectors should be around the £150 mark. Check local dealer or ebay. Transit parts sell brand new injevtods for around that mark. You should not be paying £500 foe an injector.
If you do need a Delphi injector anyone i can 100% beat 'dieselbob' price of £90 + vat and he then charges for testing.
