First check all the hose clamps on the visible fuel lines under the hood and look for any areas where you might be able to detect it currently leaking or where it has leaked.

maybe your clutch need replacing? ihad this problem and check for fuel leaks those will be a *****, i always had a fuel leak where the hose goes form the fuel filter to the engine, that gay 1 foot hose pissed me off so much i tried liek 3 different hoses, and like 3 different clamps.

my solution was that i bought a hose one side to small it was small so i had to jam it on the connector, it was so tight that it didnt need a clamp but i also found a really nice clamp at pep boys to hold well, no more fuel leaks! for now.........
