    Hello All

    I have noticed a few small patches of fluid on my drive. On checking under the car i run my finger over the pipes i saw under the car on the drivers side and the fluid smelled strongly of diesel or fuel. I have managed to take a video of the pipes. The video runs from the back to the front of the car. The fuel filter is dry and shows no leaks that I can see.

    Any ideas anyone? Can't upload video yet will do later.

    Thanks
    Chatty

    The fuel cooler is also in this area and these get damaged by road debris, grounding, idiots with trolley jacks and even corrosion, it needs to be up in the air with the covers off to see what is wrong.

    Thanks Crasher. Will it fail the MOT as it's due in about 2 weeks. Video link below. It's more at towards the front of the car where that small bendy pipe changes to the larger pipe that then goes towards the back of the car.
