Just had my car out for 10 minutes and noticed theres a leak around the engine, I have took a couple of pics I will upload after work
 
split fuel line where it enters the carb i expect, I've had it before.....was caused by removing and installing the airfilter in my case.

i usually check everything before i go bashing, i replace fuel lines after 2 weeks of use to be sure there fresh as they can stiffen up and crack on there own.
 
Heres the pictures i took, i have put a new fuel pipe on it less than a week ago, i have checked to make sure everything is tight, is there a gasket under the cooling tower?

i dont think thats a fuel leak, it maybe your exhaust gasket as when they get worn etc they let oil etc leak out, quite normal but makes the rig messy and a pain to clean all the time.
 
the exhaust gasket was only just repaced also, but i will buy another 1 and make sure its all very tight, thanks for the advice
