Leaking Gas??

Ok, I noticed that there was a small puddle of gas under my FD yesterday when I was moving it. I am worried about maybe an engine fire or something. The gas was coming from the engine bay somewhere? Anyone have some advice?

I forgot to mention the engine only has 1150 miles on it. What could be wrong causing it to leek fuel out of the engine bay?

Pull the UIM off and jump the fuel system using the diagnotic box. Then, look for the leak.

The UIM is the Upper Intake Manifold.
