Need some suggestions please, starting smelling a slight diesel smell, then a bit of a rough idle, then as im accelerating im getting a whirring noise, and i think a slight loss of power, could you tell me what you think it could be, maybe it has two issues going on?

The diesel leak could be lots of things ,.. main cause i think - someone worked on it and never replaced parts that should have been replaced like injector pipes, leak off pipes, leaking fuel filter housing is common to overtighten and crack it, etc

the whirring noise could be the turbo . belts , belt tensioner, AC clutch / compressor or any number of things.

best put a video up of it on youtube .. and we will take a guess

all the best.mark
