because its been overtightened when it was put on.
the allen key is just a drain, they used to put on the early ones.
Make sure youve got the oring on right aswell.

youve allready checked the aluminium housing havnt you?
more likely to be the plastic filter bowl, as the nut has had to much force on it and cracked somewhere round it....
but as said could also be the aluminium housing if youve missed the crack.

to start with decat it, straight pipe it then you can get £60 for the soot filter..

Remove the inlet manifold this will prob be full of crap caused by EGR, also blank the EGR valve off while your there, leave everything else connected associated with the EGR then should not cause any problems.
