Hello all,

I have an Eos 2.0 tdi 2008 model and have just noticed a leak coming from from the top of the black canister with pipes in the top.

I don't know what this canister is, can anybody help.

Many thanks

Hi Paul,
Try to give more info to increase your chances of getting help. Where is this canister? If it is front left looking into engine bay it's the fuel filter and the oil will be fuel so get it sorted quickly.
I'm surprised you can't smell it.
Anyway give the screws a little nip, clean away the residue and watch it for a few weeks, if it's no good and you're not mechanically confident it will need more attention, probably a new seal.
HTH
Regards,
John
