diesel leak

[martin hayes]

Hi ive got a 1995 c220 diesel, today while i was changing the glow plugs i took off the top plastic cover and noticed the injector wells/pots were full of diesel,?? i soaked it up with rag and it seems the one near the bulkhead is leaking,, have i got a loose injector or something worst,,??

Check the leak off pipes between the injectors first, they tend to perish and diesel seeps through them. About a fiver for a length of new pipe from merc and just a push on fit.
