TD5 Alternator Covered in Fluid

peter90 · Mar 17, 2014

I have a TD5 in a 2000 90. There is a clear fluid leak dripping off the right hand side of the gearbox, its coming from higher up, the alternator is covered in fluid. Its flowing down from there. Its a drip to the floor about every 10 mins or so. Any one had that or can suggest leak source?

Alternator is on the left hand side at the front of the engine. Cant be dripping on the gearbox.

Sorry must have my left and right wrong, new to TD5s. Its the driver side of the engine towards the back where the leak seams to be coming from, so difficult to see in there, been used to a 2.5 petrol

Oh great, thanks, it must be the fuel regulator leaking and I am looking at the starter not the alternator.

Mine was the same, fuel pressure regulator as James Martin says.
