Default symptoms of a fuel leak?

i insalled a fuel gauge tonight... teed it off the line going from the fuel filter to the fuel rail. my pressures at idle are 45psi and 50-55psi with the vac line to the stock fpr pinched. i think there is a small fuel leak at the banjo nut on the fuel rail, but it is hard to tell. i'm not going to drive the car until i'm sure there's no leak, so i don't know what the pressures are when boosting.

what would the symptoms, besides the smell and the actual presence of fuel, of a fuel leak be? higher, or lower pressure at idle? the banjo bolt did not seem to seat very well, but that may be just because it's rotated 180 from where honda meant it to be (because of the supercharger sitting on the intake manifold.)

thanks in advance to any helpful souls out there.
