Ian, the injector on this engine is in two bits which are screwed together in the middle. In between there is a copper washer which acts as a seal. Either the joint is loose and simply needs tightening or the washer needs replacing.

Spot on with the copper washer seal I managed to get it sorted tonight. I removed the top banjo bolt for the fuel return pipe and managed to get about half a turn on the top part of the injector housing, put it all back together and no leak.

Thanks for advice

Ian
