Hi,

318iS

There're some 'rainbow' patches on my driveway...each one is about the size of a 10p, looks like one for every day I've been parked! They appear to be grouped around the front-right side of the car, coming from under the bonnet...the car didn't leak when I got it, so this is a new leak. I changed the cam chain tensioner a couple of weeks back...is there a seal/o-ring you're supposed to change?

I dunno if it's related, but I also get a smell of petrol in the car from time to time, especially when I turn the blowers on. I didn't think there were any parts of the fuel system on the driver's side though?



Anyone got any ideas?
