Hi there. Ive got a defender 300tdi,Just got home and realised that its got a fuel leak and im not sure quite what to do. Its dripping from the far right bolt in the pics(bit of yellow on it), ive tried to tighten it as much as possible but it wont budge its as tight as it could possibly go. It starts leaking when i start the engine and stops again after a minute or so and a bit of dabbing.Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers. Tom.

I like it at the petty station..but not when its dripping out .lol

What side is it coming from? Hard to tell from the pic? And diesel wouldn't drip from that bolt so it must be coming from somewhere up above. If it is diesel that is

it could be a leak off pipe and then running down the block. or check the IP if it's blowing from their it could be spraying on to engine. or leaking from filter or housing or from lift pump. it's certainly not leaking from the Gearbox or bellhousing.. So it's definately running down from higher up.
