    This evening after replacing a new Breather filter, air filter, oil and oil filter on a bmw I fired her up to run the engine. I had heard a leaking sound when I turned the ignition and stupidly thought nothing of it. Turned off the engine and soon after there's the diesel that had pissed out all over the place on the drive way!! Nightmare. it turns out one of the three way(plastic) connectors on the fuel line that feeds the injectors was broken. It must have went with the pressure on starting.

    Any suggestions on what i should do now? is it a difficult/expensive part to get replace?

    These are buggers for breaking. They are only a few euro from BMW.

    Cheers Doc, I had no idea what had happened and was relieved to see it was only the connector. :)

    If you are working on bmw diesels anyway regularly get yourself a couple of spare ones..
