W639 Vito SWB
Hi Folks,
First post here, in fact first ever time owning a MB.
So I have a 2011 Vito 110CDI (had it less than a month) and this morning I've noticed diesel leaking from the back end of the engine (Gearbox).
For the life of me I can't see it let alone get to it.
I've attached a Pic if anyone could advise please?
It's like a tap dripping on Idle so basically un drivable until I get it sorted.
Any help appreciated.

Hi nagasakih2o sorry to read you've got a problem with your Vito.
I don't know if it helps at all but when I had a leaking injector last year what alerted me to it, as well as the slight chuffing sound, was an oily damp patch that appeared around the back of the top of the engine (on the left side, looking in from the front bumper). I was concerned I may have developed an oil leak from the cylinder head, however I suspect now that there is a drain channel from around the injectors that exits at that point.
 
Cheers guys, didn't noticed your replies as didn't subscribe!
Anyway, I can't see any damp leak on the top. I've jacked it up and it looks like it's coming out of the Injection pump to housing Gasket.
Is it a common issue to go here? I might add that I've had it remapped to 190BHP and wondering whether this has caused too much pressure.....maybe.
 
If its the pump then you are very unlucky. It needs to be stripped to be inspected.
