We have a diesel leak. It APPEARS from under the Lucas pump.
Under this pump there is a nut which APPEARS to resemble a drain plug. If it is I presume it will have a sealing washer.
Can anyone confirm please. It is in the haynes manual but not identified.

I went to a diesel garage, and he looked and said it is the throttle shaft seals which are fairly common. It's booked in I'm expecting £70 (+vat no doubt). A couple of days ago I could see NO diesel from the top.
I hope he is correct, and pushed the shaft sideways with engine running (after drying the area). There appeared to be a tiny weep from the shaft.
My main fear is this not being corrct and spending on a car worth
£3-400!
Thanks again.
