question bedford mj 4x4 diesel leakage

[trailerpirate]

hey

 

i bought a bedford mj 4x4 from 1986

now there is a little mystery i need solved

 

when i drive it starts to leak a little diesel

on the right side

 

first i thought it was the water seperator so i bought a brand new one and installed it

i made a test drive around the terrain at first everything seemed good

but then again half way the test round it started leaking

 

i really cant figure out where it could come from

 

i have the repair instructions but ofcourse it doesnt cover the fuel system

so any idears please let me know

The mechanical lift pump is on the right side of the engine block.

 

Dependant on where your vehicle came from you might find that the sediment bowl / water trap has become loose or the fittings associated with it.

 

Beware the brass screen inside should you remove the lift pump assembly from the engine block.

hey

 

the sedimentbowl is the one i replaced with a new one

 

it's really strange because when i start driving or just leave the engine run it doesnt leak

thanks for answering

Is the fuel leaking from the cold start device?

hey

 

the fuel is leaking into the carteroil

and i think because the carter was so full it started leaking out of the oil dipstick

the rubber is broken

 

and i emtied the carter and came out 15 liters oil mixed with alot of diesel

 

i took out the pump but it seems quite good

but i will have someone take a look at it with more knowledge

 

i dont know abit lost
