What's the metal box doodah that lives at the back of the JTD engine, at the height of the rocker cover/injectors. It has a metal pipe going into it, and some rubber pipes coming out. Is it the fuel pump?
Mine has had a minor weep for ages (judging by the oily/grease down the back of the engine). It's never bothered me too much up till now (extra rust-proofing for the engine bay.. ) and I've just wiped away any collecting oil/diesel every time I have the plastic cover off... but I'm not sure if it's getting worse. I've started getting a whiff of diesel in the car occasionally and this is the only place that I could see that is wet. It may be time to fix it.
Is there a gasket under there that is famous for leaking? If I know what the doodah is, I'll be able to investigate what pieces I need.
Is it then just an unbolt/re-fit.. or is it a bit more complicated than that? The metal pipe looks like a brake pipe so presumably has some pressure inside it?
