Help needed.... Fuel leak at start??????

When I started my car today and it just had a bad time starting. When it started it smoked real bad. Then it cleared up. After the car was warm I started to back out the driveway and noticed a hugh spot on the drive way. So I got out of the car and it was gas. I looked under the hood and couldnt find any thing leaking. What could the problem be?????

Start looking around the engine bay. DO NOT drive the car by any means. Common points are the fuel pulsation dampner and the injector insulators that seal them to the motor. Both are difficult to see in a stock car because of the clutter. If you actually saw fuel on the ground it must be a pretty big leak. Look at the fuel lines under the intake elbow as well. Put the car to the on position so the fuel pump primes but do not start it and look around if you see anything.

The car seem to not be leaking fuel anymore but the car will run perfectly for about 5 mins. and then just die.
