406 fuel leak

bledger · 12-26-2011, 10:14 AM

i have an annoying fuel leak from my `97 2.1 td 406. its coming from the back of the engine, possibly the top. ive had it up on the ramp and thats the best i can see cos its so tight back there. the front where all the fuel stuff goes on is absolutely dry,are there any fuel return pipes back there or could it be coming from the timing belt cover i,e fuel pump seal?
any guidance would be appreciated!

p.s ive just had a look under the timing belt cover cos theres a seperate part that just covers the fuel pump pulley and its totally dry.

From memory (been a few years!) the fuel return pipes run round the cambelt end of the engine, back to the bulkhead, and back under the car

Both the feed and return lines come up the bulkhead and have push-fit unions from there to the metering pump and back. Could be one of these unions needs new seals os replacement.
