Fuel Leak Lately I realized that I have diesel smell when I get into my car. Far behold it looks like the engine is leaking diesel. However, I cannot determine where it i coming from. I checked the top and all seem is ok. None of the injector seem to leak neither the fuel filter or the line and there is actually no smell only when I look underneath the car and the oil-pan is covered all in diesel as it seams.
Any idea where this could come from? From what it seems it is coming from somewhere on the driver side rater than the passenger side but not sure. |
The seal on the HP fuel pump is prone to intermittent leaking. There is a dribble hole that drops the diesel directly onto the serpentine belt. When mine leaked, the first symptom was the power steering stopped working from belt slippage. Mine only leaked cold, never hot.

If you use cheap diesel, you risk leaks.
The biodiesel they blend in stuffs seals & causes leaks. Running on proper diesel for a few tanks should fix it. Fuel from the Viva refinery in Geelong is good. Anything from India is often junk & causes problems. |

How can you find out which servo has the good stuff? I guess the price will not really tell you the truth. Any recommendation on the servo brands? We have a lot United, 711 and a Mobil around here. There is also a Metro which has the best price and where I was getting fuel from the last 5 or 6 times. |

If you find one that after a tank has the leak gone, stick with it. |
