Default Car started leaking gas for no reason??

I was on vacation for a week.. come back last night and go to start the car and its pissing gas rear passenger side.. Okay i've played this game before.. fuel filter maybe decided to fail.. get under the car and the filter isn't leaking.. something above the filter/lines area but hard to tell without getting high and have gas spitting on my face.

checked it again today and got a better looked jacked up and i can't find where its coming from.. start it up and check but it just drips all over and the filter isn't leaking

any ideas?

There's always a reason. Could be a leaking fuel pump, fuel line or if in the rear, the fuel tank.

Be very careful - don't leave the car in a garage or drive it until it's fixed.

I have been recently smelling gas on the rear right side, around the wheel in particular. Just wondering how much it was to fix the fuel pump? I just had
Mine serviced with Audi, and there was no smell. I got it back and I start smelling gas in the cabin and the rear of the car almost immediately after, they just put in a new fuel filter too.
