its the diesel filter, nip it up by hand for now, and get another one, as you should be replacing it as a service item anyway.

usually the leak is at the filter bottom's water sensor not the filter itself. This sensor is quite sensible and used to crack......check it and if it's cracked u can replace it with a new one or u can forget about it and leave the filter's plug on...........that's what i did.

or you could temporarily shove a bolt in the hole if it is the water sensor at fault.

careful when you change it you dont leave the center rubber o ring on the spigiot. they have a habit of sticking on and the new one wont seal properly if the old one is still there.

just a quick note to say thanks for the advice and my landy is now better after replacing the fuel filter.. the seals had rotted a little and the fuel filter itself was a bit worse for wear.. it was any easy change thanks

now get a zip lock bag with a small hole cut in the corner and an elastic band, and cover the filter up. then the next time you have to do it, you wont even get your hands dirty!
