clear oil leak

[dave456]

I have a clear oil leak coming from the engine. When its turned on after 5 or 10 seconds, hmmm not sure what these are called, doh.. 4 things coming out from the engine near the filler cap start leaking, 3 out of 4 of them are leaking. They are leaking quite a bit, between them about a drop a second. Any ideas what the problem could be?

I had previously overfilled the engine with oil and had not realized for about a month or 2. Now I have let some oil out. The color of the engine oil is black so why is it coming out clear? Its only been coming out in this quantity more recently like the last few days or week. It only comes out when the engines running.

Its a 2000 nissan vanette. 2.3 E Diesel90 000 miles Not sure if there is anymore worth saying, thanks in advance

those 4 are fuel injectors. metal rail is high pressure fuel rail. rubber hoses are fuel return lines. first check fuel back line hoses, then injector o-rings. it might be fuel leaking.return line hoses may crack if overheated, or after few years of explotation.
