Hi,
I'm a relatively new owner of a t25 and am loving taking him out and updating bits and bobs (minor things).
I filled up at the weekend and whilst paying noticed fluid running down the passenger side onto the floor, a fair bit. This suddenly stopped and drove home (5 mins) and there has been no dripping since on the drive.
Any ideas? My assumption is a split at the top of the petrol tank but very much a novice.
Also can anyone recommend a garage in the Southampton area that I could take it to have a look?
Many thanks
Stefan

Check that all these vent lines/hoses are present/not leaking. No need for a garage - it's something that you can see for yourself.

Hi there, not wanting to hijack your thread, but just wanted to know where these images are from? Are they available online or did you just scan them in for this post? They're very informative and could do with a copy of wherever they are from!

Thank you very much for your reply and apologies gives for delay in replying, work got in the way.
The various pipes etc all seem ok so I assume my next step is checking for a crack in the tank???
Thanks
