I look underneath sure enough there is a small pool of what looks like fuel? the leak is very high up, but not above the fuel rail. its dropping onto the alternator. the car went in for hi flow cat. injectors drilled (nizpro recommends), maybe there over drilled and its leaking back down into the intake manifold or something??? any ideas?

I hope its the injectors as it will be on nizpro. anything else my heap will take the fall :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuel will more then likely evaporate overnight anyways so leaving a pan underneath would be useless!Take a better picture! If fuel was leaking you should be able to smell it aswell, are you using coolant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
