I rarely remove my engine cover (as I bet others don't) and when I did last weekend I found a lovely little pool of diesel around injectors 3 & 4 (nearest gearbox end).
Is this something I should be very concerned about? My injectors tick like mad but performance is seemingly unaffected. Is it as simple as replacing the seals/washers? Do I:
Buy some low mileage 076 injectors from eBay and fit them with new seals -£80-90?
Keep current injectors and replace the seals -£??
Get some injectors refurbished -again £??
What do we think?

Find out where exactly its leaking from first. Clean up with brake cleaner and check back again

Yea OK. Just soak it up with kitchen towel/tissue? Would it help to spray some GUNK cleaner on there or should I not do that?

If it's just diesel it's more likely come from leak off pipes or a union, if it was the washers you'd have combustion crap all round them. When was the last time you had the cover off? Could have been there since the fuel filter was changed.

I had a 307 other day that was leaking and it was the unions on the high pressure pipes tightened up a bit all fine but best to clean up first as every one has said

Give it a good spray out. They are all the same
