is it at the bottom of the heat sink if yes maybe it could be a loose glow plug. or maybe even a loose heat sink head but i doubt that it will even start if that was the case.but yea check your glow plug

It is at the bottom of the heatsink, i think it might be the glow plug i was mucking about with it a couple of days ago, i have some new ones i think i will change it over, i didnt have the problem before and that is the only thing i have touched on the car.

Look on the bottom of the heatsink head and the should be a metal round metal gasket ( think thats what it's called)under the heatsink head. If there isn't one you should buy one.

i checked the 4 fixing nuts on the heatsink and a couple had come a touch loose, i tightened them up,could of that caused the problem, also installed a new glow plug.
