Up until now I thought the diesel leak on the project car Cosmo was just a knackered pump that needed to be replaced with a Bosch with better gasket. However, since I detected the leak to begin with, there was always a small pond of diesel on the floor roughly by the passenger side rear wheel - I assumed this was where pooled diesel running down onto the engine bay subframe was pouring off when reversing out. However, I haven't moved Cosmo this last 10 days and the pool by the rear wheel has been getting slowly bigger.
Had a good look underneath just now and there is a regular (~ every 10-15 seconds) drip coming from the space just above and in front of the rear axle, around halfway between the centreline and the passenger side of the car. Is that where the fuel filter is? Can't think of what else is above there apart from the fuel tank itself. This is an 02-reg AMF with probably the old-style diesel filter, although I assumed that was on the driver's side just ahead of the wheel.
Any thoughts?
