It would be helpfull if you could ID the source of the leak but any fuel leak should be remidied ASAP. If the FPR has a small diaphram leaking it could be dumping fuel into the intake manifold and it could be leaking out of the air intake. A small leak could cause a buildup after shutting off the engine. After shutdown try removing the FPR vacuum line from the manifold. There should be no fuel coming out. If so the FPR is bad. There's plenty of them in the pick-your-parts yards. Should only cost $5-10.
