    Hi everyone I basically have a problem and wondered if anybody could please help me. My 2001 Saxo 1.5 Diesel is leaking fuel from the fuel pump ( Has bosch pump). It is dripping from underneath the pump and is going on to my alternator. The car still runs/drives fine I just noticed the leak when checking my oil. I don’t think it’s a major leak as I left it running for 15 minutes and there was not anything on the floor. Anyone any ideas on how to repair it?? I know its run off cambelt… is that a really hard job on these?? In my favour I have a 106 diesel which has blown a head gasket which is going for scrap.. it also has the bosch pump, so I can practice anything I need to on that

    it will be leaking from throttle spindle orfront seal --find another one or get it rebuilt/repaired--there is no simple solution
    where in the country are you?
