Heard a tin sort of noise getting louder the last couple of days, like something coming loose, cant pin it down but while searching found some sort of leak. This is under the drivers seat. Had a good run yesterday, temp gauge at the right place. Will explore further tomorow in daylight,
all suggestions welcome. Thought the warranty ran out last weekend

in-fact it's this coming weekend

TIA.

Not sure if it's oil or fuel, dont think it's water and just thought i did think i smelled redex a couple of times on a good run. Fuel leak?

Thanks for that, hopefully i'll get a better look around in daylight .
The tin sound seems like it's something rolling around in the back but i cant see what though it just does it when the bongo is on the move.

Think it would be more like from the fuel line than the filter as filter is lower and to the left of the leak (under the labels)
Worth checking at injector just below far right glow plug?

I remember that thread Mike, just read it again and hopefully it will be as simple as an "O" ring, a service is due anyhow, i was going to change the oil myself but will let the place i bought it from give it a once over.

Good to have the members of BF to bring some calm diagnosis to the terrible fears of a cracked head, mine
