The passenger side of the engine block looks wet from underneath the inlet manifold down. Not a patch but covering all of the block. Doesn't smell of diesel so must be water. Any ideas where it could be coming from? Hard to see without taking manifold off. Thanks.

If you run the engine,water will evaporate. it could be oil from the oil cooler pipes or oil filter

You need puddles under it to be worried.

Check around the fuel pump as well!!
They start to leak on the top caps and also the back of the pump just before the injector pipe's.

I think the issue is your leak off pipes. Don't bother with the cheapo **** off Island or eBay. You need the Bosch stuff. Ask @tomcat59alan!

The leak off pipe is a pain, I have bought all sorts of pipe and even the Bosch was showing signs of dampness around the ends when I stripped the head off last week

That matches what Dopey's mate Max said. He said all the stuff in this country was utter ****e and so he brought back a roll of the stuff every time he popped back to Poland. I got mine off him but it does mean a trip to Heathrow!
