8:30am

Yesterday morning I started up my car and let it get warm. Was sitting for about 7-10 minutes, and when I pulled away I saw the puddle. Went over and smelt it...fuel. Checked under my car...and there it was...drip...two seconds...drip...two seconds. Coming from the middle of my car and also at the front. Middle puddle, 12in diameter, was bigger than front puddle, 6-8in diameter.

9:00am (damn traffic)
Drove it to school (approx. 8mi.) and it was still dripping, but slightly slower.

12:45pm
Leaving school. Checked under car, puddle didn't get that big from the last of the morning drips. Started car and rev'd her up...no drip.

1:00pm
At work. Checked under car, no drip.

The rest of the day, and today. No drip.

For quite some time now my car has been running super rich, and always has a heavy smell of gas. Since the smell has been around for a while, I was wondering if the leak has been there this whole time, but finally made its way to dump on my driveway. I dunno.

Any thoughts?
