Hi All, My golf mk5 gti went in to have the broken cambelt and some other engine components change. I received the car recently but didnt get the chance to drive it much. I realised yesterday when I drove it that there's a fuel leak by the engine around the fuel lines. I havent been able to spot where exactly its leaking all this fuel. Does anyone know what could be the problem and where exactly I should be looking? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanx Ricardo

You'll probably not pickup the leak very easily since it evaporates very quickly, unless it's gushing out. Start the engine and rev it a bit, so that pump will pump harder, maybe you can pick it up from there.
OR, take it back the guys who worked it and make them fix it, they could have broken a pipe or fitting somewhere with a wrench or something like that?
