Is that a petrol Breater Pipe?
Discussion
Hope someone can help here, there is a small pool of fluid smelling of petrol on my garage floor. I filled up with V-Power and drove 25 miles home. Parked in the Garage (Level Surface) and noticed a smell of petrol. I looked under the drivers side front wing to see a small pipe directly above the pool, this also smelt of Petrol.
As I said drove up the motorway 25 miles mostly in a queue with the aircon on, then parked up.
Answers greatfully received.

Fuel return pipe (black plastic) runs under the airbox and if incorrectly routed can rub and may be leaking/split. I would remove the airbox and have a look. Also to be safe I would not park in the garage (if its attached to the house) just in case it is a fuel leak.As I said drove up the motorway 25 miles mostly in a queue with the aircon on, then parked up.

As you say you'd just filled it with petrol, I expect this is the same as what happaned to me last summer....
If the pool is in front of the front wheel on the drivers side then that's the overflow from the tank, right by the carbon cannister. What happened on mine was I filled the tank, drove a few miles and then the next day when the car was sat in the sun the petrol expanded in the heat and overflowed out of this area.
