Hi there,

The fuel system is a full loop back to the tank, with the pump internal , and fuel lines to the filter, regulator, fuel rail & injectors and back to the pump, there will also be a carbon canister tank venting system but i am not sure if that is under the bonnet or further back in the car near the tank., check around the injectors as there are O rings seals there that can leak.
