Default Ug. Fuel Leak in Back

So it turns out that all of the sealing that I have done on the front of my car has been a success. No power steering leaks, no engine oil leaks, no coolant leaks.

Just when I think it is time to get on with it, the car tries my patience again. This time, it is fuel leaking. There has been no leaking at all up to now, but last night, all of the sudden, bam, I have this:

Fuel all over the floor. Car hasn't been ran in 3 days and hasn't been a problem at all up to now.

Any ideas on where to start? Should I start pulling the tranny?

More than likely the fuel pump o rings have failed.

No need to pull trans. Just remove that small cover on the tank

After removing the cover, use a small set of vise grips to pinch the feed line to stop the leak and to aid in the repair

GTFO!! Really? Just the idea of this is making my day. You know how these these 994's are like a crazy hot girlfiend who will cheat on you in a second? Well, you just told me there is a chance she is loyal. (I know she isn't, but thanks anyway.)

Just remember how it goes back on. The first time I took it off I noticed that someone had panted the word "F_CK!" on the inside of that piece in Guards Red paint. When I went to go put it back on I was saying the same thing. It's now something I can do in two seconds but figuring it out the first time was like going back to pre-school and wondering why the block won't go in the circular hole.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll paint "F_CK!" on the inside of mine just for posterity's sake.
