put a bit of wallpaper under it overnight. You can see where it's dripping from

LOL
Like every one has a bit of wall paper lying around.
Not laughing at the idea, just why you chose walpaper as the media to trace the leak instead of a piece of Ikea wardrobe packaging, for instance.

Clean the whole lot down and leave it over night, then inspect the following day without driving the car first. Use a torch so that evn the slightest bit of oil will glisten.
