I have noticed a diesel smell in the cabin and upon further inspection, diesel leaked everywhere in the trunk. It looks like it's coming from the side closer to the filler so it's not the strainer however I have no idea what is there and if I can replace the o-ring there.

Pull the covers in the trunk and investigate.
Line everything with paper towels for pinpointing.

Remove the trunk liner and nose around!!

I lined it up with paper towels and it is definitely leaking from I'm guessing the regulator? I'm not sure what it is. Any ideas? I'm gonna pull the tank out out is their an o ring I can replace

Picture?
There is no regulator there, like there is no gas tank on diesel
Very likely you see charcoal canister with breathing system.

I believe this is from the w124 but same design. whatever #35 is, thats where its leaking from. ill take an actual photo tomorrow

35 is fuel pickup with strainer.
Run the tank low and be ready for shower. It takes some big socket to remove that thing.
Have seen recent tread on other forum about it.

Never saw the issue, however 35 is 210 471 00 81 right boot--just watch out for spammers!

The reason why this never happened before is because i turned my car into a nightclub inside. im guessing the subwoofer rattles everything quite hard thanks for the help, ill have to pull the tank out next week as im quite loaded with work and school at the moment

Before you pull the tank, make sure it is not something simple. Your car has a rubber hose that drains the fuel fill area.You can see it on the right side of the fill cap. If it were pulled out of the trunk floor, any spill over would appear on the trunk floor.
