    Fuel Filter (re Corsa).

    My Missus' Corsa was serviced 2-3 weeks ago, and recently the car has been losing epic fuel from fuel filter. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they change this at the service? I've read that it seems to be a common problem (leaking from filter), but surely this should have been noticed...
