Where do you start ?

Get the car into a garage and get the job done properly !

A fuel leak - especially off a diesel - is dropping deathtraps all over the road for motorcyclists. Continuing to use it is grossly irresponsible.

The only thing you can do really is find out where the leak is, have a look underneath while someone switches the engine off. Also see where the drip is occuring on the ground and look directly above it with a torch.
