Hi,
Sorry that this is my first post and have such a problem.
Hopefully someone may be able to help me.
My 2011 1.6 dci qashqai has developed a fuel leak underneath the fuel pump on the engine.
The car still runs fine so it must be from the low pressure side of the system. It is not the leak off pipes as I checked these but the fuel seems to be coming from the pump. I tried to remove it to look at the seals around it but it doesn't seem to want to come away from the engine (Gearbox side).
It is all loosened off and all pipes are disconnected but it just doesn't want to come and I don't want to force it.
I replaced the pump which was leaking on my Renault Traffic which has a very similar engine and that came off no problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
