you mean its not coming from an actual hose that comes from the firewall to the engine??? there are 3 rubber sections on top of the engine. . . AND the fuel pulsation damper. odds are (if im reading your post right), you have a bad hose under the intake manifold. . . on top of the engine. youll have to take the TB, UIM, RATS NEST, COILS, and some other odds and ends (depending on your setup) to get to them. . . good luck. . .

if your fuel pressure damper thingy is busted it maybe shooting things all over the place...have you popped off your UIM and primed your fuel system (grnd and ten in the diag box)
and sat there looking for leaks?????

Also what i would do is get some white tissue and wrap/cover the lines (rubber and metal) and prime your system...count to 5..then turn it off..look for wetspots.....if its coming out even quicker...do it for less time

You upgraded the clamps? I believe the oem ones are made to withstand pressure changes in the hoses. Similar to the coolant hoses

tt2323 has a point. The factory clamps are steady pressure clamps designed to maintain constant pressure over the life of the fuel line. With time, the clamp compresses the actual diameter of the hose. Without a constant pressure clamp that will adjust to this occurrence, the fit does not remain tight and your fuel lines will begin to leak. And this can happen within just weeks of installing "beter clamps". Keep in mind that your fuel lines swell and shrink every time you start and stop your car.
