I have a 2011 mini cooper base that is leaking fuel from the back side of the engine somewhere. I took the air filter box off and there is a line that runs along the back and it's wet there but I can't find the leak. Any idea what this may be? Of course my warranty ended in June as luck would have it!

 

Is it from the fuel line connected to the rail?

Or under the intake near the breather ?

The fuel system is very simple on your car, there is a feed line to the fuel rail and there are injector O-rings at either end of the injectors. Chances are either the feed line to the rail is not fully seated or leaking, or there is a leak from one of the injector o-rings. Are you getting any codes pertaining to a certain cylinder? That could point you to a specific injector.

 

Just heard back from the dealer, it's the seals at the injectors so $500 later and I'll get it back tomorrow I guess. Service advisor said she'll talk to the manager and see if they can help out since the car only has 35k miles and only came off warranty a few months ago
