apparently theres a fuel pressure release......... could it be coming from there? not too sure where it is  :oops: but if is that its probably normal for it to release a bit of fuel

Hi Ray, it's your fuel pressure regulator that will be leaking.

its quite a easy job to chage one if you have a few extension bars and a 1/4 socket set took me about a hour

If it's anything like mine it will get worse pretty quickly.......... and as a biker can I vote for as early a fix as you can manage?  2 wheels and diesel don't mix well..........

Easy job - ideally a twiddly uj on the socket for that third bolt!  Cheers, A
