Leaky diesel return line

[Iaitoo]

The diesel return line seems to be leaking quite alot. And it smells inside the car. The end seems to be opening. I should probably just change the hose. But it's minus 20 outside atm..

Can I plastic zip tie it? Or will the heat of the area just melt it? 

If I go about changing it. Any tips on how to remove it without filling the engine bay with diesel?

zoom back a bit its hard to work out where it is?

Not my engine bay, but its in this area




Doesnt look like the smaller hose goes very far into the other one. Stops before the clampthingy. And since the other one seems to be pealing back a bit, its not weird that it leaks.

It's next to the cambelt cover behind the engine lifting point.

Edit - Too late haha.

Thanks anyways Tom, for helping locating the area

Lol, no problem. I don't really have any advice though!

The engine heat wont melt zip ties but I'm not sure that would work anyway.

You can't really change it without spilling some diesel, it won't be loads as long as you're not pumping the primer lol. Just put some rag underneath to catch it.

Expecting warmer weather in a few days. Maybe I'll just go ahead and change it. Is the inner diameter 10mm on these? Bigger? As it goes over the other one
