Have a 2000 GU Patrol 3.0 Ltr T/Diesel. Its leaking fuel from the drivers side from up above the front diff. Cannot find the exact spot for love nor money. Anybody heard of a similar problem and what the source might be??? Cheers

Have a look at the hoses that connect the fuel filter to the fuel line maybe a small hole in the line.

which side is the injector pump? I had an old hilux that leaked from the throttle actuator once. It needed an o ring.

Up around the intercooler on the drivers side.
Take the top cover off and have a look.

Check the drain tap at the bottom of the fuel filter.
There is also a small o-ring inside (you have to unscrew the whole tap), if that is cracked, it will leak. It would be hard to start too, especially if it has been standing for a few hours.

Have you tried looking for the leak with the engine running? May be a pressure leak. Just a thought.
Cheers,
Wayne.
One day they will understand.
