Check the pipe on top of the tank taking fuel to the front of the car. Under the carpet in the boot is a round metal disc and 4 screws. Take it off and look for the leak under there :y

Try the metal plate ontop on the tank, access is through an alloy plate in the boot, they have a habit of rusting ;)

Not many places for it to leak that wouldn't be obvious to see.
