Hi all,

I have just noticed a leak under the hippo which appears to be diesel. It looks as if it's dropping onto the modified chequerplate undertray but from where I can't tell. No obvious signs of any leak site from above and I'm stumped as to where it's coming from.
Any of you boffins got any thoughts on the likely source? :confused:

There's no apparent sign of power or performance drop off either...
If any one has experienced this before I'd be grateful for some guidance. If it helps the spec of the truck is:

2006 TD4 with synergy tuning box and MAF Compensator. EGR bypass mod fitted, chequer plate sump guard, EBC Greenstuff pads and discs and Eibach uprated spring kit. General Grabber AT2 tyres, 30mm spacers and rear protection bar, side steps (bent after Abingdon 2008!).

Ta,

Steve

Never heard of the modified checker undertray, but I remember Greenie had a problem with diesel leaking from some fuel line manifold/adaptor with several fuel pipes connected to it.
 
Thanks for the info Chromium,

The undertray mention is just bit of a red herring really, i'ts just a mod I did to get rid of the pointless plastic original one.

I'll search on Greenie's posts and see if I can find the one with reference to my current problem,
