On the 2003-2022 Renault Scenic, renault's K9K and M9R dCi diesel engines used in Scenic II/III/IV develop weeping injector seals as the copper crush washers fatigue with heat cycling. Diesel sweats around the injector body, often coating the head with soot/oil mix and seeping toward the head gasket fire ring. Replacement washers are cheap (€2-5 each) but require careful torquing per Renault procedure; ignored leaks eventually cause cylinder head damage requiring decoke or head rebuild.
