Diesel leaking at glow plugs

Hi all I've just cleaned off the engine to get ready to fit the new green side seals for the pump. All cleaned off and engine started ready to see where the leak was and saw it bubbling up around the bottom of 2 glow plugs. Has anyone had any experience of this? Unsure how to proceed now :/

Losing a little compression there too, remove, copperslip, re fit and torque. Should sort it.

That's great thanks I'll give it a try tomorrow weather permitting. Little leaks used to be ok on mots but with the new rules now it's worth getting sorted early.
