Fuel leak

Has anyone experienced a fuel leak on the passengers side of the engine? I could smell fuel on my drive home yesterday. When I opened the bonnet the right side of the engine was wet and there was a small pool on the top engine mount bracket. Later when I started the engine I couldn't see anything leaking. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Sounds as though it might be your fuel line connection to the fuel rail and it most likely occurs only under pressure (driving). If you have an S you'll need to remove the intercooler to access it. Here's the detail on the fuel rail for an S: https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/e.../RE33/13_0978/
