V50 Engine 2.0D : - Oil leak

nozmeister · Apr 7th, 2007, 13:51

Car booked in to have an oil leak looked at.

This is coming from around the right most diesel glowplug/injector. I don't think this is the "rocker cover" but can't really be sure.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks in advance

Is it fuel or engine oil?

I had a fuel leak at Christmas last year inside offside front wheel arch. I only noticed it when on investigating screeching from brake disk. Dealer found weeping joint on pipe. Not sure where exactly. But pipes replaced to cure.

Don't think that this is diesel as it doesn't smell and it's not as clear as I would expect, although maybe if it's been simmering on the engine block for a while then it turns black?

I'm fairly convinced its coming from around the gasket/washer that fits against the engine block around the injector/glowplug as I can't see any sign of it running down and pooling there.

Cheers
