I have discovered a small diesel leak coming from the top of my fuel filter.
mine has the early fuel filter with the four pipes and i dont know if the fault is with the filter or the pipes, i cant see anything leaking around the connections but the fuel is dripping out from under the plastic colour coded sheet on top of the filter.
I plan to replace the filter tomorrow and see if it cures it or see if i can identify the connector thats leaking.
Does anybody have a diagram and part numbers fir the four pipes?

Did you use a genuine filter.
I had the same issue with an aftermarket filter i put a genuine one on and no more leaks.

Not sure I haven't owned the Landy long
It's Bearmach filter with 7k miles on it. Is Bearmach aftermarket? and which filters are OEM?

Remove and refit the pipes one at a time, check out site sponsor Advance factors Webb site for OEM filters they are a very competitive and reliable supplier, Discos are very susceptible to non OEM filters causing problems.  It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

If not mistaken the original filter was made by Delphi.
If the connections are fine i guess if there is long change intervalls it can just rust through the paper thin metal and cause leaks.
