I don't suppose anyone knows where this leak may be coming from?

Ok the leak smells and tastes like water but leaves a rainbow pattern on the road.

Looking at where it's dripping down from it could be coming from the fuel rail area on the inlet manifold.

Did new crush washers go on any fuel lines you undid for your engine swap?

No I don't think so pal, you think they may require replacing?

I didn't replace them when I refitted the B20 into my 2g and the banjo union pissed petrol everywhere. I stuck two new crush washers on and that sorted it. I understand they should be replaced every time a banjo bolt is removed.

So yeah I'd say put new crush washers on the banjo bolt if you haven't already, simplest solutions first and all that :) hopefully it's nothing more complicated than that!
