Can some one help me where this leak maybe coming from, maybe it's a common fault but I have deisel leaking and pooling around where coolant usually leaks on the fuel filter housing. The longer pipe running from fuel filter is soaking but no signs of breakage. There is fuel sitting on top of the filter aswell. Could a clogged up fuel filter cause a leak here? I have no fuel related faults.

The pipes going to and from the filter leak from the clips over time, you can cut them back 1/2 inch and refit with new clips but sometimes new pipes needed!! It’s pretty common problem!

Weird how the pipe is soaking under sleeve if it's from there though
