Default Fuel/Gas Leak help

89 Civic hatchback Dx

Its been sitting for one day havent drove it. Then next morning i smell fuel around my car. Popped the hood nothing. Went under the car i saw a leak dripping non stop. Not a lot though. I dont know where is the leak coming from but its not from my tank.If anyone know where this should be leaking due to i have no jack or tools with me right now. Car is dropped cant go under. If anyone can give me a diagram of the part. thanks

FROM THE DRIVER SIDE

try to remove the plastic wrap, dry the line out and apply some cold weld on it. should fix it at least temporarily. the best solution is to change the line or only some of it using a new line (this will need a special tool to connect the lines)

yeah i remove the plastic wrap from it. it was a line that was leaking. Its a steel line then it meets to a hard rubber line. Thats where it leaks. The line is leading inside the rear seat to the bay.

Don't smoke or use any open flame if there is gas in the lines.
Gas is flammable as well as explosive and is a hazard if it catches fire !
