Help with diesel leak

Postby stugordon » Mon Mar 18, 2019 7:51 pm

My 2007 TDCI connect just failed the MOT on a fuel leak around the injectors but doesn't say what or where it's coming from.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any common problem these engines have that would coarse this? I've not had the time yet but will be pressure washing the engine as it's covered in crime & shot so hopefully I can locate the leak but it can't be very big as it doesn't drip anything or use loads of fuel etc.
Just thought I'd see if there's any common problem that could do this to point me in right direction.
Thanks guys

Then I'd go back to the tester and ask him.

The MOt inspector said he couldn't say exactly where the leak was coming from without looking into it in more detail & charging me for doing so
Once I'd cleaned the engine up etc I found the seal on no4 injector was leaking so thankfully I replaced the seal & cured the leak without any issues
Thanks guys
