Opel Vivaro engine shuts down after starting

I own a 2007 Opel Vivaro with a diesel engine and 480000 km on the odometer. The vehicle starts briefly and then shuts off again. The engine dies after starting, but after pumping with a manual fuel pump, the engine starts normally. Where could there be a leak point where air is getting into the fuel system?

Check the fuel lines and connections for any visible cracks or loose fittings, especially around the fuel filter and injectors. Air can enter through these areas, causing the issue. Let me know if you find anything or need further assistance.
