(Home) diesel leak

Can anyone please tell me where a leak of diesel now a bad one on the nearside front is likely to be coming from as my garage unfortunately is unable to locate it. I think it is hard to locate due to possible run off onto the chassis parts. Has someone mentioned before something about a wax seal as it appears to be worse when the engine is hot. I would be grateful for any help. It is the new shape 1993 Royal Lounge CR 21. Thanks

Find a different garage! Preferably a diesel specialist, but it aint rocket science. Timing cover, top cover, thermowax, throttle spindle. They all leak occasionally, and it could be any of them...
