I just recently purchased the car from a dealer here in Salt Lake City. But suddenly began to smell fuel mostly in the backseat area inside the car. I decided to investigate and found there is a leak underneath the rear passenger side of the car which appears to be fuel looks like it may be mixed with the little oil hard to say it's a pretty steady drip especially if I'm parked uphill. This is definitely a safety hazard being that it is fuel and could easily cause a fire putting me my family and others at risk. I noticed there was a recall on these vehicles it is a Jaguar XF 2011 but it looks like it has been closed from what I can tell. I'm hoping that that's not the case and we can get this fixed with minimum or no charge thing it was a recall

It was a motorist that pointed to me and at my vehicle that a problem had occurred. I could not determine what the problem was but I knew the performance of my vehicle was very poor. Another indicator of something being terribly wrong is that I could see blue smoke coming from the hood of my car. I exited the freeway immediately and stopped the car on enterprise avenue. After raising the hood, suddenly and without notice, I could smell and see gasoline leaking from the left side of my engine. …
