Morning i have a 17 plate qashqai 1.6 DCI
It has started to leak fuel from the back of the engine around N0 4 injector (nearest the gearbox) there are no drips on the floor, No engine miss-fires and it still performs as well as it always has.
I have had a good look around and revved the engine with an assistant and cant see any leaks (it only becomes apparent when the car is at operating temp and you smell partially burnt fuel)
Is there any known faults that could help me diagnose the fault ?

Good Morning, I also have the same 17 plate 1.6DCi qashqai which has developed a similar small diesel leak. A local garage has said there is a small leak from either the fuel pump of pressure regulator but without stripping it down cannot pinpoint it any further. Can you please let me know if this issue was resolved and what was the cause?

Not in the slightest mechanically mind but enjoy programmes like "wheeler dealer" and this brings to mind an episode about an old diesel (estate ? SUV ?) which just needed some seals and O rings replaced.
