what colour is the fluid? its hard to tell from that slick on the road, like i said before theres any number of things that could be leaking, gearbox, sump, steering rack, brakes, fuel tank, coolant etc, get a white cloth and mop some of it up, then check all your fluid levels in your engine bay.

Leaks are hard to find. You need to get under the car yourself and have a look, if its in an obvious place then you might see where its coming from. If not then id surgest you take it to a local garage where they can pop it up an there ramp an have a better look.

Check all your levels too, that might help.

my car will be going to renault to get the bumper fixed soon anyway i hope.

do you think theyll notice it when they check it over anyway? or should i mention it to them? my only worry is if it is something and they fix it.. ill have to pay for it on my own back because i dont think its related to the crash.

I would be inclined to mention it

They can probably identify it for you for no cost and give you an idea of how much it will cost/what is require to sort it. You can then decide what to do from there.
