Over the last couple of days I have been getting a slight diesel smell around and in the car. Had a look for the obvious around the high pressure pump , filter pipework etc and nothing obvious. Took the centre cover of the engine and again nothing obvious. Next plan is to take off all the engine covers and possibly inlet manifold to have a look at the top as I have just noticed a tiny drip on the floor towards the the back of the engine.

Had a good look today with the engine covers and the hevac plenum off. The only signs of wetness is on the top of one injector. A quick google shows it could be an O ring on the diesel bleed off return. There is no pooling of fuel but I suppose it will readily find a path down. Now to find a suitable O ring. 2007 TDV8 VSE

Well its taken me long enough but at last I have found my leak. The low pressure fuel hose where it connects to the top of the high pressure fuel pump was oozing fuel very slowly. One of those places you can see but just about get your fingers to. Anyway the jubilee clip had a knackered head and was not done up tightly presumably by whoever ruined it. Hose removed from pump, 3/4 inch trim off the end and back on with a new Jubilee clip nicely tightened. Please let there be no more whiff of Diesel around the car. 2007 TDV8 VSE
