Could my Captur be leaking fuel?

Could my Captur be leaking fuel?

I bought a 161 renault Capter 1.5dci from renault dealer. The following day after getting the vehicle I noticed an oil like puddle at the bottom of the drive coming from the back of car by petrol side. I took to dealer, they checked and said it was from the air con. But I have driven the car since and notice the petrol gauge seems to be going down quicker than should be. Could there be a leak?

Our answer:

Hi Nigel,

There could be, and with diesel looking a lot like oil, that could be the case, although it would have to be a significant leak for it to affect the fuel gauge much. I think you’ll have to bring it back to the garage and not leave until you have an answer you’re satisfied with.
