Any advice ? Wheres it coming from? etc

|Regards
 
This is directly below the RH side fuel rail feed union, could be the connection or the hose. You should be able to see it just behine the Air Con Pump.

Andy cheers for advice leak is on the otherside eg other side from air con pump. Could this still be the fuel rail ? Cant immediately see the union do i need to dismantle working way to get to this fuel rail union?

Many thanks
 
Could still be the fuel rail as there is a fuel rail running along the top of the engine on both sides. The union on the LH one is at trhe front of the engine. You will need to remove the heater motor and pipe work to gain access to it. Could also be an O Ring on an injector or corrosion of the rail.

Whatever happens if you have a fuel leak then you need to be very careful as this could easily lead to an engine bay fire.

Dear Chris - That looks scary, so near the exhaust. Please don't start the engine until you have fixed the leak !
 
Quite frankly I wouldn't do anything without 1st having a full,effective fire extinguisher right by you-no electric lamps or anything that could spark.
