Okay so first up excuse my ignorance with diesel!
There's probably something on the forum but I'm kind of stuck at the moment.

So I pulled up at work this morning and noticed something leaking under the car.

I have ruled it down to an injector pump well I think so the throttle body looking thing? Where the accelerator cable goes to? (Yes it's true I have no idea about diesels bring on the hate)
It's seems to be the connection between the metal fuel line on top of it! I tried tightening it up did nothing. If I pump the primer you can see the diesel leak out of the connection. If this as simple as replacing a seal?
And should I drive it 40 minutes home tonight?

Any help would be appreciated and theres a slab in it for anyone who knows how to fix it and will give me a chop out haha!

Cheers guys

Yeah should be as simple as replacing the sealing washers mate. You should be able to get it home no worries.

Good man! Who would I go to for the sealing washers? Just repco or something?

Is this actually the injector pump I'm talking about where the throttle cable goes?
I'll go genuine parts

You can use some copper washers to reseal the banjo bolt if unable to get genuine ones. While u have the bolt removed to replace the washers, there is a small mesh screen at the bottom of the bolt hole, (you can flick it out with a seal pick) give it a clean with some solvent. They have a habbit of blocking up a bit. While your there :-)
