Hello,

First post sorry if I am asking a silly question that has been asked to death.

I have a 2004 Td4 which I did an oil change on the other day, I left the Freelander idling on the drive to warm the oil. When I went to have a look underneath to take the sump cover off it was dripping in diesel. I have done a bit of googling and read about the high pressure pump seals, the only problem I have is I can't actually see where the diesel is leaking from. When I start the Freelander the leak doesn't start instantly, seems to take 30 seconds before it starts to drop but it is quite a constant drip. The Freelander has the diesel heater and the leak seems to start after that first starts then goes quiet. I have attached a Youtube link to below, I don't think it shows much as you can't see much and diesel drips on my phone..




If anyone could offer any advice that would be great!
 
Before I got diesel in my eye!!:p I could see that the diesel is dropping down the front of the bock, on the driver's side, which would be the HP pump seals failed.
