What is this
Can anybody advise on the attached pics,
Has there been a leak or is it some form of gasket compound
I’ve never noticed it before but have never looked but today it stood out and has me wondering
Cheers
Andy

It does doesn’t it , that means I have or have had a leak on both sides
Wonder if they are gaskets underneath and an easy fix ?

The red coolant can self seal.
They have O rings I believe

They have o rings
The housings are prone to splitting, and are relatively cheap. I'd be inclined to replace the whole unit My D3 Build Thread

Thanks for the info guys,
Cheers mike I’ll get one ordered
She struggled to start this morning at 0 degrees and I changed 5 glow plugs last year.
Could it be a temp sensor problem and that’s why maybe I have what can be described as a slight misfire under load ? Really scratching my head took it to dealer and the tech could feel it and suggested first thing would be plug it in for £144.00 the see what it says he also said it could be temp sens faulty making it over fuel or maybe injector/s or injector pump , it’s doing my head in
