    Land Rover Defender '97 300tdi diesel leak

    Hello everyone,
    I've got an unfortunate diesel leak, took a picture of it where it's leaking. Is it alright to do like a 20km drive with it?
    Cheers,
    Kyra.

    Silly question but have you tried tightening it ?, need 2 spanners so you can hold one end and do up the other.
    If its just a drip you will be ok, but you could take that injector pipe off and check the end to see why its leaking and maybe clean it up.

    The lift pump is also a likely cause given all the wetness around and underneath it. Go ahead and drive it but get it fixed soon.

    I agree with give it a tighten.
    probably could degrease the area as well to help track down the source.
    If the rigid line is damaged I do have spares here if needed.

    I tried a bit here and there but all of the sudden there was also an oil leak (which was not due to diesel leak) so went to the mechanic. Apparently the whole pump needs to be replaced and since the car is 20 years old that's not a shocker. The price is..
