Hello folks,
well my 190D failed its mot the other day on a couple of rust spots and a fuel leak in the engine compartment according to the mot man.
He never specified what was at fault but I had a look tonight and I can see its leaking down the passenger side of the engine block and dripping off the subframe at the bottom.
I know the fuel pump is down there below the inlet manifold. Just wondered if anyone had any experience or advice on the subject? Is the fuel pump common to leaking or is it more likely to be a pipe or connection needing tightened?

I think my choices are to take the inlet manifold off and try to clean it up as best I can or else just hand it back to the garage as it is and await the bill :confused:
