99% sure its gasoline, as it evaporates quite quickly.

feel free to shed light into this, as i dont have time to investigate more at this time, exam season :(

edit: its directly under the intake manifold ( i think thats what it is called)

on each end of the fuel rail is a small piece of rubber hose which links the fuel pipe to the rail, these typically start to perish and crack, have seen a few leaking there. You need to take the top half of the inlet manifold off to make it an easy fix.
