I was driving to work yesterday and smelled diesel whilst I was parked at some lights. Oh I though, somebody has a diesel leak (not thinking for one minute it was me). I was driving to work today and deja vu. Got to work, lifted the lid it was me The sump cover was wet with diesel below the drive belts. I phoned SWMBO to tell her I would be late as I was calling at the garage. She said she wondered what the two foot round stain on the flags and trail down the drive was.:wtf:
So home time came, car (TD4) on ramps cover removed and no sign of a leak (only diesel on the cover). Both mechanics and myself spent over 30 mins going over the engine above and below and can't find a thing. The fuel pump is dry. There are no leaks on any of the pipework.
I am totally confused. The guy at the garage is a friend so he has told me to call every night on my way home so we can check until we find it.
Anybody got any ideas?
