Most likely, the leak is at the top of the fuel pump, the collar securing
the pump is probably loose. Remove the trunk flooring ( two 20 Torx screws
and locate the larger round cover just off center to the left. Pop that up
and the fuel pump lives there. Look at the top of the pump for fuel. You
can try to tighten the collar on the pump, but if that doesn't stop the
leak, you may need to replace the o ring under the collar/pump.

You can look under the car at the tank for any stains indicating the
location of the leak. Check the fuel filter and its connections as well,
right side over rear axle.

Other possible places are the filer neck on the right side in the trunk.
Pull back the carpeting and floor cover to access the neck and its hoses
and clamps.
