Have a 1990 Defender with 200 TDI Engine. Having trouble starting the engine. For a while it would start after 2-3 attempts. Engine turns but won’t start. Needed a new battery so changed that out. Problem continues and has gotten worse. It now wears the battery down until there is no power and have to jump it. Even when I jump it it takes 9-10 tries to start it. After it is started it runs great. If I turn it off it will start right back up. But if it sits for any period of time I run into the same issue of running the battery down and then having to jump it. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this issue would be helpful. Fairly new to the Defender world.

Thanks. It does splutter for about 15-20 seconds. When I rev the engine for 5-10 seconds it runs smoothly after that. I will check for the leak
