you dont have to start the car to see where the gas is coming from. get a friend with you, have your friend turn the ignition ON but not actully start the car. meanwhile you have a look to see where the gas is spraying from while the fuel pump is priming up and replace whatever is needed their.

I would look at the fuel line going from filter to fuel rail,injector o-rings,make sure the fuel rail is bolted down tight.

the same thing happen to my honda accord the other day. gas was all over the intake manifold. the o-ring for two of the fuel injector was bad, so i changed it and it wasn't leaking any more. hope that help.

god thats a pain then! try turning the ignition on and off fast so the fuel pump will continue priming, you might have a better chance of seen somthing. if that dosent work your just gona have too start the car too see. all the fuel that was on the engine should of evaperated by now
