No-one can make a promise like that online. But is is probably ok to keep going and have a mech look at it when you get home after Ed Sheeran

A obd cannot diagnose a fuel leak.

That engine running should at around 300bar on idle and up your 1600bar on max load. Run the engine and look at the injector to see if it's leaking
