Gas Leak???

my fd just started leaking gasolin after a 400 mile road trip. I took off the metal piece that protects the transmission and saw that the leak is from somewhere above the transmission or in that area. Could anyone tell me what kinda of problem might be? Thanks!

My FPD let go and it was a fountain of gasoline under the UIM and it ran down the transmission bell housing. I am single turbo so there isn't much under my UIM and I could see it shooting out of the FPD. If my car had been doing anything but idling in the driveway it could have ended in tragedy.

Make sure you check that FPD!!!
