MK6 2.4DI RWD - what's this leak?

[artru]

Recently I've discovered oily stains on the place I always park my Transit, so I took a look underneath.



then I opened the hood to find the back injectors like this



what could this leak be? Is it an urgent repair and will it be costly?

[MrMPuk]

Those aren't spark plugs, they are the diesel injectors and it looks like a diesel leak.

how can i fix this?

[belly]

Could it be injector seals if they've been out before ?

[MrMPuk]

I'd start it up and see where it's leaking from first.

[belly]

if it's injector seals quite easy but you still have to take the injector feed pipes off to slip the old ones off and new ones on! then the toughest bit re bleeding the bitch

[belly]

Looking again i think Mike is right and it's diesel quite clear for oil !

[artru]

could it be the bolts have shaken loose a bit and need to re-tightened?

will have another look at it tomorrow

[jacko1611]

hmm might b leak off pipes

[artru]

checked the bolts, they were tight, so it it'll be the injector seals, like you said

[jacko1611]

looks like a puddle of diesel to me more than injector seals.
