I've now got an issue with a fuel leak. It's a constant drip from the area marked when stationary and idling. All hoses and connections up top are dry, auxiliary pump in line pump is dry. Thinking this may be the high pressure fuel pump that's leaking.

No engine lights and no error codes being flagged by VCDS. So the question is am I looking at having to replace the complete HPFP unit or is it maybe just a seal that's gone that can be changed over?

Any advice is much appreciated!!
P.S I have a video of the leak in motion but not sure how to share it.

Surely somebody has had this type of problem and I am not in some exclusive HPFP leak club?
