W209 CLK270 CDI smells of diesel

[Angeloj]

Hiya gang,
Over the last few days I've notice a smell of diesel wafting into the cabin when stationary. It's raw/un burnt so I'm just wondering if this engine has a common fault of leaking diesel somewhere in the engine bay?
Any help welcomed!
Thanks Jono

Just found an old forum post which suggests leaking injectors or pump seals! Will have it investigated!!

And that it will probably be!!

Alex Crow is near you and has a good rep on here, maybe he can help you.

It's booked into my mechanic for Friday! Watch this space!

Diesel leak all fixed, was a pipe!! Now awaiting a bottom hose for the coolant leak!!

£266.99 for the fuel pipe and bottom hose plus coolant and labour!! Not bad hey?!

They never leak on the petrol's, probably as the pressure is lower

It seems to be a common fault on that engine!!
