Could be an injector line loose. A guess is all.

it could be a few things, the fuel in and out lines pass right though there, the injector rails are there, but u will know if you have a leak in the common rail system when u floor it, it jumps up to 23kpsi

the Fuel pressure regulator is on the cp3 itself on the front of the engine under the oil fil cap.

how bout a pic?

a pic wouldnt show much, all the fuel is running down the back but the top of my engine, but below my turbo has some fuel, it sprayed the firewall but im sure that happened on my way home

well it could be the fuel junction block which is right under the return coolant line form the turbo where it meets back up with the main coolant pipe.
