okay so I was changing my oil, fuel filter, air filter etc the other day and I noticed the engine bay was stinking of diesel before I even touched the fuel filter, so looking around and I noticed diesel leaking from the Injector pump. so I went about tightening the bolts on it thinking they have come loose. as I have been having starting issues for a few months. trying to figure out what was the problem was giving me a headache until I noticed this.
my guess is that the seal has perished and air is getting into the fuel lines and causing the starting issue. I've included a few pictures to help but the question is can you get a new seal or is there a seal in the pump that is causing this issue?
cheers
the last picture is a little hard to make out but this is where the diesel has been leaking and has built up over time

Never heard it on a 206 but it does happen in other diesels - it will be an internal fuel pump seal. Will be £££ to rebuild the fuel pump, so you might be better off seeking a decent secondhand replacement. Its normally caused by using out-of-spec fuel, ie has the car ever been run on veg oil, or other dodgy fuel, or always pump diesel?

nope i had ithe car a year ago, was fine until the cold set in and its been having issues starting ever since always ran it on the same diesel from my local supermarket pumps i hardly ever filled up anywhere else and ive never put chip oil in there. so ill have a go at finding a good second hand replacement part. if its just a seal im sure you can get a new one i dont see how ill have to replace or refub a pump.
cheers

no idea how you can strip the pump;
all i know is even a second hand pump is not cheap.
