Volvo Penta MD2030 leak
I've noticed a leak around one of the injectors in my Volvo Penta MD2030. See photo. This is the amount of leak I have seen after about 30 engine hours. From the color, it seems oil (rather than diesel), which makes me think that the leak could be not from the injector itself, but from the head gasket. Has anyone got any idea? If it's indeed a failing gasket, how urgent do you think this is?
