leaking petrol
there was a small patch of petrol on the garage floor under the engine, started engine and car was missing a bit , drove it and it was worse under accelleration (missing badly) then came right. Hour later started engine again (strong smell of petrol in car) and the same happened, have had codes PO200 and C1214. hope its not terminal

28-TCS - Traction Control System
C1214 Sol Valve Relay Contact or Coil CKT Open
I don't think that has anything to do with your leaking fuel issue though.
I couldn't find one for P0200, did you get that one right? Here are the ones around it...
P0175 Fuel Trim System Rich Bank 2
P0230 Fuel Pump Control Circuit
P0300 Engine Misfire Detected
Where is the fuel leak exactly under your engine? Might be able to pinpoint the problem that way and get it reconnected (if it's that simple). Hopefully someone will chime in that had a similar issue.
I wouldn't drive it until it is fixed though

Check under your fuel rail covers for pooling fuel on the intake. Could be a leaking o-ring where the injector meets the fule rail or intake.
I would not drive the car until you find this leak. Have you done any recent mods?

P0200 is the code for the injector control circuit
Makes sense given the symptoms. If the gizmo is u/s it may be over fuelling.
BTW C1214 is often thrown by the EBCM. Have you been getting nuisance AH/TCS/ABS lights on the dash?
