hi, recently ive noticed the my car has been really slow at low revs 0-3k. Once i hit 3k it starts to accerlate really(ish) quick? i know its not the fastest car in the world (X14XE 1998 sport) but it never used to do this???? Also i think i might have a petrol leak from one of the fuel lines under the car? would this be causing this???

you 'think' there may be a petrol leak.... doesnt that concern you enough to find out for sure? 
When was the last time it was given a full service?
Are you running an Induction kit.
Do the following.
Disconnect battery
remove induction
remove old plugs and replace with new
clean TB
replace airbox with new filter
reconnect battery..
voila

Yea the other day when i was trying to park, i saw a slight trail of something on the road following where i had been. But its been raining since and havent been able to see if anything is leaking. So its either Petrol or Brake fluid, and me brakes have been fine.
It was serviced in may, plugs, leads, oil etc. i did have on an induction kit but i replaced the std airbox when i noticed this problem. Just 1 question, whats the TB?? and where is it lol
