75 leaking diesel
My 75 cdti seems to be leaking diesel somewhere. Diesel smells strongly and there are drops of it on the underside of the box but I can't find exactly where it is coming from. Is this perhaps a common fault? Could this have some connection with the engine running problems? There is no low rev power and turbo comes on very late.

A common leakage point is the pipework around the fuel cooler, behind the right rear wheel. Others are from leak back pipes along the tops of the injectors. I have also heard of leaks from the under bonnet pump.

A high possibility - The HP pump is underneath the alternator (front of engine on the right side of the car (uk driver's side). Common issue is for one or more of the three pump head caps to leak. Seals can be replaced but it's not a job for the inexperienced.

Sorry, I meant gearbox. It drops from the lowest spot on the gearbox and it is definitely diesel oil, not engine oil.
