    Yeah I had one scanned and ready to make on a 3D printer but then saw these for sale and lost interest after that.

    Update
    Went for a wheel today and had to use a bit of right boot, fair bit more than I should have. Quick once over, and noticed a bit of liquid around the sump. Nothing to serious. Drove home, constantly checking temp, and scan gauge, no issues.
    Checked under at home, lots of liquid. Thought I had done a rear seal. Checked under the engine cover and the 3rd injector, well?, was almost full of diesel.
    Can diesel leak through the rocker cover into the oil from above, faulty fuel line?
    Or, is my injector fucked?

    Definitely diesel? The injectors go through the rocker cover and have a seal. These will leak and engine oil will come out from the rocker cover and through this seal. If its fuel. It could be just the injector pipe. As the CRD's run high fuel pressures it just could be a dodgy fuel pipe. Nip up the nuts on the lines and see how it goes.

    Yeah, definitely diesel. I had a mechanic do the rocker cover gasket, maybe he damaged the line/connection. Will check it out this arvo.

    righto. run a spanner over the injector lines, might just need a nip up. Your running circa 30thou psi through those lines, these are supposed to be changed when new injectors are installed.

    Checked the fuel line, gave it 30nm and it didn't really move.
    cleaned the well, took the car for a drive, not really any leaks.
    Did a back leak test, dodgy brothers style. All injectors looked even.
    Might pull the intercooler off tomorrow and nip up the rest of the fuel lines, clean around the rail and have a better look at everything.
    Fuel rail pressure is maxing at 23000 psi, 5000 at idle. Not throwing any codes. Driving fine.

    Fuel rail connection could be tightened on 3rd line and supply line.
    Will check again this arvo. Thanks for the help.
