is it all the time or just when you start the car?
Any other problems in the last while?
Has your mpg changed?

Bring it to a garage, sound like you have a fuel leak, but it could be coming from anywhere. No one on here can help diagnose it.

Most definitely a leak somewhere either in the fuel lines under the car or in the engine bay. It may be a simple worn seal on the fuel rail or an injector seal but get it checked out soon!
