Just got a 2001 td4, while doing all the general initial mods I noticed there's a lot of diesel around the injectors,
The run off pipes look damp, so I presume this is where it is coming from, just checking there isn't anywhere else it could be coming from before I order any parts,

At the back is your crankcase breather unit. check when this has been replaced as this will cause pressure and leak oil.

however, this is clean fresh diesel, not engine oil,

Sound like the fuel lines have perished. Check the fuel return lines as they suffer from active movement on services.

either fuel lines or leaking seals on the bottom of the injectors you need to get it out before it goes solid with the heat and it will.
