Just been on a drive out to a motor museum near warwick as i came of the M40 i smelled fuel when i got to the car park i opened the bonnet and took the cover off and had pools of diesel around the injectors.
Now i use the car daily and haven't had the leak before but only go 30mph, But on motorway i was doing 70mph for about 30-35mins on the motorway and get the leak.
From what i can see all pipes and clips are on and tight.

Quick update after an hour investigating this morning with a work mate (were both mechanics although he's more skilled on the fuel side working on injectors were we work) we've found a glow plug (in line with 3rd injector from drivers side) was loose and fuel was coming through.
So after trying to tighten it and failing i'm getting a new one and hopefully that should stop my fuel leak.
