Leaking Astra injectors

[Raeden]

I have an R reg Astra 1.7D with Isuzu engine. it seems to have a leaking injector as it looks like there is fuel bubbling at the base of the injector and deseil is dripping when the engine is running. Does this sound like job for a DIY begginner or does it have to go into a garage for repair?

Diesel injectors seat on a copper washer, it's not too difficult a job providing you have the right tools.
you could try tightening first, with a large spanner, failing that, remove injector and fit new washer, having obtained the new washer first.
