Hi,

I think my fuel pump might be leaking. Here's a couple of photos. It appears to be dripping from where I have indicated.



As you can see, there is fuel pooling around the bolt head circled. Also, there seems to be a coating of fuel/dirt around some of the hoses in the image, especially the one down the neck of the dipstick housing.

Any advise would help. Could it just be that hose? Do I need to take it to a shop? Bosch shop, dealer, independent?

Thanks,

JJ

Sorry guys, having trouble getting pictures up.

The leak is dripping from the cable/hose that is just to the right of the timing control cover and on the underneath side. The hose comes out and up to the front.

Anyone?

I haven't had time to get back under the hood to see where that black hose goes to. I can't find it in the Chilton's either.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.
