You've been a member since 2006 and you haven't noticed or read anything on here about fuel pump seals?

David Cameron (Conservative) is PM now by the way in case you hadn't noticed.

This is for the 2.4, but I guess the procedure is the same for the 3.0?

Check the white plastic water drain-off fitting at the bottom of the fuel filter is closed. It may have been opened recently to drain off any water in the fuel and not tightened up properly.
Or the filter itself could be loose and dripping.

Apart from the actual fuel line fittings, those two items are above where your leak appears to be.
