land rover Freelancer diesal leak

[jadie22]

We have recently bought a land rover Freelancer TD4 05 plate. 112000 miles on the clock. we have noticed that early in the morning when the engine is cold (like over night cold) and we turn it on there is a diesal leak. As soon as the engine heats up it goes away. Also it doesn't happen if it is later in the morning like when the engine is warmer. we have taken this to our mechanic 3 times and he cannot see a problem. Anyone know if there is a fix/what it could be, or if this is a common fault?
thanks

Morning jadie22, welcome to the LooneyZone ...

If you ask your question in the Freelander section, some nice sensible person will come and explain the most probable cause and maybe some alternatives ...
