Default Fuel leak question..

Here's the scenario.....Plenum and injector housings have been off the car for about five days now...Sent them out to get ported..

Today I noticed a leak in front of the car...I checked it and it was fuel....I opened the hood and noticed the two fuel lines on the passenger side had slipped down causing fuel to leak out...." I know I have to put rubber stoppers on the ends so they don't leak" I will get them Tommorow.......

Thinking that was it I left...I checked a few hours later and saw that it's leaking now from the middle, meaning it's running down the rear of the oil pan gasket...The drip is every few seconds.......I put an oil pan underneath it to catch the fuel..It's not leaking from the two fuel lines on the passenger side anymore.....

I'm going to jack it up Tommorow if I get a chance....

Anyone have any idea where this leak is coming from...

First try removing the gas tank cap to releive any tank pressure that may have built up.

Concur

Anytime you disconnect the fuel lines Near the Plenum, Loosen the gas cap or you will continue to get gas vapors in the fuel tank pushing gas out of those lines no matter their height.
