Good day all. My freelander 1 td4 2.0l diesel face-lift has a diesel leak behind the right front wheel. Not leaking at injectors, hp pump or pype work. Can someone please help?

Have you looked at the fuel rail??

As you have looked at the other parts! I.e. Pump and regulator!

As they are the only parts with fuel distribution on that side of the car??

No sign of any leak at the fuel rail. On top is totaly dry. Only wet behind the right front wheel. Can it maybe leak on the main shaft of the pump?

Sounds like the pump is leaking, but the fuel is running backwards down the sump.

If you have the undertray on, it could be leaking anywhere and running along that.
