Think I may have a fuel leak

Post by Willoughby »

Hi

Just noticed a small but constant drip from a small plastic tank located under the rear of the from nearside wheel arch. Happened just after I put a full tank in. Looks like a windscreen washer tank but smells of petrol.

Can't find it in Haynes what's this for ??

Thanks

Kev
