Searched and I am still not sure... Is the fuel pump under the tank?
I have a pretty bad leak, with fuel coming out of the front. Right side, just to the inside of the front right tire.
I assume the fuel pump is there and I need to replace the lines. Will know more when I have a chance to pull what looks like a cover off, on that side. (Appears the fuel is leaking around that plate.)

Been having that fuel odor for a little while, started getting worse recently.

Pulled into the garage today, and saw wet spots on the floor.
Some quick investigation, led me to the front where I saw a lot of fuel dripping out the bottom of the car.

It sounds like you did find the fuel pump cover. There is a picture in this post.

Fixed it this evening.
No problem with the lines. The banjo bolt was loose. (See arrow in picture).
It started leaking more as I rolled it out. As I did, I noticed that the outlet line was not turning with the pump housing.
Tightenened it back up, test ran it, all is ok. I ended up tearing the boot on the end with the power leads... had to use a zip-tie to hold it back together. I think the fuel deteriorated the rubber.

The only downside is that my hands still smell like gasoline, even after washing them several times. I hate working with fuel!

Use vanilla extract, or juice from an orange, to clean your hands.
