Hi guys for the last few weeks i noticed a sort of ticking sound from the hdi 2lt 110bhp engine sounded to be coming from down the back of the engine i thought it was a leaking manifold ,But today when i took the engine cover off its an injector thats leaking looks like a bit of black oil round it at the bootom when i rev the engine you can see a very slight leak.Now i'm hoping someones gonna say it'll be the copper washers at the bottom of the injectors and not something expensive ,though knowing my luck it'll be expensive the cars running perfect no missing etc.Anyone had this before.
cheers

its quite common,just replace the copper washer & the plastic sleeve round the injector.you may need to spend a bit of time cleaning all the crap from the injector hole.
