Hi all. Need some help here.
I have been noticing some fuel smell in the engine bay. I noticed that there is leak of some sort as per the picture. What part is leaking here? And, what part is this? Sorry - I'm not mechanically inclined. Appreciate any guidance. Thank you!   |

Looks like you have two separate problems: a small oil leak that you seem to be on top of and should be fixed soon (it has already been said, but wipe it down, tighten the fittings, and see if that solves it), and a fuel leak that you really have to figure out before you have an engine fire. In a FI car you should not have a strong odor of gas in the engine bay. Check all the hoses, all the clamps, and the injector seals. Find and fix the fuel leak before you worry about anything else. That should be your top priority. The oil leak is lower down on the list.
