I had this problem.

It turned out to be a slightly leaking injector seal - not uncommon.

If you remove the plastic engine covers you may see black gunk around the top of the head. Failing that it could be a leaking fuel pipe - unlikely on a car as new as yours though.

Hi there
My no.1 fuel injector is leaking so am in sympathy with silent driver...don't use stealerships if I can help it. Any idea where I can get brand new 1 with seals without the need to rob a bank?

Probably, a quick check under the engine cover will confirm..
