The fuel lines and filter would have to be checked to see what is causing your leak. I recommend you do not attempt to drive the vehicle till having it looked at and fixed. The leak may pose a fire hazard. I recommend you have a mechanic, like ones from YourMechanic, to come by and do an overall inspection for the leak issue.
