Hi Denis
If you can run the engine, watch and see if it's a crack in the fuel line, a leaking fuel pipe union or the injector seal it's self. Just have someone on the key if you need it to be shutdown.

Hi Denis
Have a look at the leak off hose T-junction where it connects to the injector for a damaged O-Ring, failing that you might have to swap injectors if you can loosen them. Some Td6 injectors can be a right pain to undo. I think Gav had big problem with one a few years ago, so hopefully they come out easy or it's just the o ring.
