It happens every time I change my fuel filter. The top slowly fills with diesel. I take it out again, clean and refit. The only way to stop it seems to tighten the top "viciously" with a chain wrench and a hammer. So, thinking the housings "stretched" I ordered a new housing from main dealers £85! Worth it I thought, it came complete with filter so 10 minute jobbies, out with the old, in with the new. Wrong!! The new one spewed out fuel like there was no tomorrow and no amount of cleaning and chain wrenching was going to stop it! 
So re fitted the old one back (it was midnight, pouring rain and I had to be 125 mile away for a 6am pickup-might get some sleep!) Amazingly there was not now any trace of a fuel leak!!!!
Took Housing back to main dealer and they would source another.
Now then, have I wasted £85 for a new housing? is this just a qwerk of the Scudo that we have to live with at service time? With other problems I begin to feel like a magnet for jinxed vehicle and bodging garages...:bang::bang::bang:
