Gas puddle under engine bay

[IHaveAMustang]

Wife comes home last night and parks her 2008 MDX in the garage like normal.

I leave this morning and as soon as I open the door to the garage, im hit with a strong smell of fuel. I naturally go over to my 66 and look under the tank to see if it has sprung a leak for some reason (haven't driven it in months), but its bone dry.

I chock it up to a leaking gas can or lawn equipment in the garage and head off to work. She texts me a photo of a 1ft by 1ft puddle of gasoline that was under her car.

Car only has 96,000 miles on it, I just did the brakes on Saturday. The only thing I did was forget to pull some brake fluid out of the reservoir before compressing the pistons to put new pads on. A bit of brake fluid leaked out and ran into the engine bay. I cleaned up as best I could and didn't think it was that corrosive.

Thoughts on where to look for fuel leak? Car is running fine, no check engine lights.

Where was the puddle? Engine? or in the middle to rear?

If engine, Injectors/fuel rail.

If middle, Fuel Filter.

Are you sure it's gas? Condensation leaking from a muffler may smell like gas to some people. If she just filled it up it could be overflow running down from the filler neck or the evap canister could be full.

Front, like directly under engine block.

Odd thing was I told her to park it in driveway when she got home and look for a leak when she left, bone dry after an hour.

Do you know if there are any fuel line quick disconnects or other junctions under the brake reservoir? Maybe some of the fluid made its way inside a fittings and hurt an o-ring.

Forgot to update this as I was so busy smacking my wife around.

I get home, same puddle is there. I am like, honey there is no way that is gas because it evaporates quickly. Sure enough, just condensation.

Then I go over to my 66, crawl up under the rear end and lo and behold I am losing fuel. The entire bottom of the tank is damp and it's either coming from the rubber fule line that bridges the two metal ones, or it's my fuel sending unit o-ring.

Either way, false alarm. This is what I get for listening to a woman.
