So, one day i have noticed that i have some wet spot were i park my car, and this was like 4liter of liquid spot of 50cm radius. Found this is diesel. My under engine protection cover was full of diesel... if as so scared of fire, i went strait to service, they look, and its not plastic pipes leaking but all fuel pump is covered in diesel, so the clean spray some magic spray, and i start the car, in the place where the steal pipe from the pump goes to the cilinder, it start to be wet in 10s. So they told this is some rubber seal leaking, also they were offer me to change all rubbers on those plastic pipes.. so i was take a chance. Cost some joke price like for your sallaries... 50-60pound..
for me 1/4of sallary. But i was start to think how long this leak was.. and how this was effecting car perfomance since the fuel supposed to go to cilinder is waisted.. i still had under 10l/100km in town.. :D Now engine feels more smooth, and silent. So hope to see better mileage :D
So everybody should know that not only the plastic pipes can be leaking...
Only sharing information for future problems..

Roland
