lid = boot or bonnet ?
If boot its most likely the fuel pump or the seal around the fuel pump top.

Unless it's something obvious that's broken or come adrift under the bonnet, I'd get the car straight down to a garage for a professional check over.

Dodgy stuff, petrol, if it gets where it shouldnt......

Mass Air Flow sensor....measures air flow and helps determine air / fuel mix.
