for the last few weeks ive been smelling a strong smell of diesel, ive had a look today & found diesel running down the sump & dripping onto the floor, it seems like the no3 injector is weeping, is it just a matter of tightening or something more sinister as i know no3 is the one with a chip in it, i believe a special socket is required which i dont have, any help would be appreciated.   oh & the little rubber pipes look o,k.

That's no4 I believe. Try nipping it up first see if it seals.

you might need to replace the leakoff pipes if you start the engine and shine a torch on it you should see it easy fix or nip up the nut its a 17mm spanner.
No 4 is the sensor

I rekon its more likely to be the leak off pipes than the injector.  If the injector is leaking, then you will see a pool of diesel at the bottom of the injector with bubbles of air escaping from around the thread.

Should be leak-off pipes or the injector pipe.

[Welung666]

I've got a length of leak off here if you need a bit to try Should be enough to replace the sections between all 6 injectors but there isn't enough to go back to the pump as well.

cheers chaps, i`ll take a good look at it tomorrow, is the leak off pipe anything special or will vacuum pipe do the job [if you know what i mean], & thanks for the offer welung but it might be a bit far to travel for a bit of pipe

[Welung666]

I was thinking Royal Fail rather than a visit  Different to vacuum hose as it needs a certain chemical resistance with carrying diesel

I got some from my local motor factors, you need diesel leak off pipe, braided rubber.

any local m/factors or halfords costs less than a tenner simple to do you get enough for all 6 in the pack.

[unlucky alf]

cheers once again chaps, i`ll go visit my local factors & do the lot as the stuff on it doesnt look like its braided anyway :-/, ive only just replaced my fuel lines as they rotted at the back & leaked & now this aww bugga

[unlucky alf]

here is the update, ive changed the leak off pipes & cleaned it all down, but i still have the leak from no4 & no5, so any suggestions what to do next as i dont have the special socket for the no4 injector  .

[hoofing it]

where  exactly is the leak. :question
is it below the leak off pipes on the ridge

[unlucky alf]

yup it does seem to be where it screws in, please tell me it just needs tightening :-/
