My Audi A4 has a fuel leak - should Audi contribute to repairing it?

My three-year-old Audi A4 Cabriolet has developed a fuel leak somewhere low down behind the engine. Is this a known fault and am I likely to persuade Audi to contribute to correcting the problem?

It's a dangerous fault and needs fixing immediately. No recall that I can find. You should get some goodwill over this.
