sedimentor behind chassis there. replace or bypass. loads of threads on how 
or it could be the rubber washer on the water sensor has split. Have a look under the wheel arch when the engine is running. If its leaking from the bottom of the fuel filter, its either the washer, or the water sensor that,s gubbed. Or both. Sensor is only plastic and easy to break if over tightened.

Disco 2 - no sedimenter there.
The pipes also rub on top of the tank and can wear through spraying diesel everywhere. I'd run the engine and go investigating.

Mine was from the water sensor on the bottom of the filter. I bought a new filter and used the plastic blanking screw they come with until I get a new sensor.
