Default a lot of fuel leaking outta my car.. HELP

just turned on my car this morning, havnt started it in about a week. started it and smelt fuel right away, let it warm up for 3 mins, then reversed it and saw a puddle of fuel on the floor and saw it dropping as i reversed. found the source of the leak, believe it is that one line that runs after where a fuel pressure regulator should be. wondering is it just a damaged hole in the line or what is broken thats making it leak so much. my car is a 1995 acura RS. ill try to get pic up.. but someone PLEASE HELP.

heres my setup if it helps?

where was the fuel coming from? the fuel line? fuel pump? can you start the car and let it run for 1 minute and see where is it coming from? if the puddle is big enough you can tell where is coming from

I had the same problem on mine after installing/removing an FMU a number of times. Just cut about an inch of the hose off and put it back on with a really tight clamp. No more issues.
