Give it all a clean and then look to see where the diesel is leaking from or take it to a dealer to be fixed.

As Paul says give it all a thorough clean and then I would suggest checking all the injectors are tight. I had a similar issue on my C5 which was down to number 2 injector being just a tad loose allowing the leakage! :)
