Since buying an old 306 at the beginning of the month I have replaced the injector leak off tubes and the brake indicator switch (which drew blood), major problems with cheap fixes. Unless I can fault find the faults below I think it will not stay that way.
Since buying the car I have only driven about 40 miles and put 30 litres of fuel in but the tank is only registering about 1/4 full. Noticed noticed a small patch of fuel below the back and seems the tank is damp:

The fuel lines look intact and I've looked at the fuel strainer which has nothing obvious wrong:

May have to go to a garage with this one.
Unknown fluid on the transmission and generally around underside of engine bay. It hasn't rained here for ages so sure it's not water. I can understand there being some fuel on the sump from the leaky injector tubes but not sure it would have spread this far:

Leaky shock absorber and seized brake balance valve to top it off:

Not feeling the love for this 1.9TD yet
