One possibility putting 2 and 2 together is that it is just the intercooler o rings. Open the bonnet and see if you have an oily mess on the undertray in front of the battery and all around the intercooler pipe.
It happens when it rains and only when youve been out, so i think rain may blow through the front grills and simply be washing the oily deposits off which drip on to your puddle when you park up. |

I am just about to go pull off the bottom cover off the engine bay and will see if there is any visible leak.

Mine failed its MOT this morning due to this leak and I am pretty sure it is something to do with the fuel pump. Booked in again tomorrow for the garage to take a look and hopefully repair.
I'll keep you updated. Steve |

Garage confirmed that a rubber hose to the fuel pipe had a small split causing the leak, probably caused by over tightening of some clip. Any way leak now sorted and only charged me £25 to change the hose which I thought was pretty reasonable. Any way just as important she passed her MOT.

I had to replace my under bonnet pump awhile ago
My problem manifested itself in the same way as your scenario Although the pump was working perfectly it was leaking on the top from the seam where the plastic cap meets with the metal casing Regards Chris |

Aftermarket ubp are prone to this. I fitted a second hand oem pump to mine.

Agreed, it's common for aftermarket items to do this.
Ours seem to be solid enough - I'll have to stick to this supplier!
