Small fuel leak!!
Discussion
Only happens after car has been standing for a week or so.Start her up and and reverse out of garage there is a small pool of petrol on floor under fuel pump area.
Can stop and start several times in the day and not reoccur only happens as I say wnen car has stood for a week
Looks as though it is when pump primes but thought I might ask for some helpful suggestions before I get it up on a ramp.

Steve,
I've just finished sorting out a fuel leak on my Griff. Mine was weeping at the banjo joint which is right under the tank outlet in the boot. This had obviously been weeping for some time as the carpets inside were wet. What it was doing was weeping through the joint between boot floor and rubber inspection grommet. This grommet sits directly under the fuel tank outlet. If you remove it you can se the banjo joint directly above it.
You can also check from inside the boot without crawling underneath - just feel under the tank in the area of the grommet on the passenger side of the car. You'll know soon enough if its wet or not.
If its not this, then I would suspect perished hoses, a knackered pump, or a cracked joint between hose and pump/filter.
Has the fuel filter been changed recently? They are lots of fun to get at and one of the joints might not be fully tightened.
