    2004 td5 - occasional smell of diesel

    My 2004 td5 (Disco II) occasionally smells of diesel, seems to come from the engine bay area and I usually notice it after a trip and engine has just been switched off.
    No evidence of any leak - any thoughts?

    Check the fuel pressure reg. Its right down the back on the RH side of the head behind #5 intake runner.

    You will see a couple of steel fuel lines and a sensor plug. Most likely leaking.

    Do a search on here for it too. Will dig up heaps of info in "The Good Oil"

    Cheers

    Are you getting oily spots on your back window ? When my reg, started leaking that was the first thing I noticed. Than a small puddle under the gear box.

    Look underneath at the starter motor (drivers side) if its wet at all, your FPR is leaking.

    Just a quick update - its a long time coming I know. Based on your feedback, I took a better look underneath and realised that what I had assumed was an oil leak was in fact a diesel leak. Its just been in for the 120k service and they replaced the FPR at the same time.
    So thanks all.
