Default Bugeye wrx fuel leak?

Hi Guys,

I recently purchased a 02 Bugeye wrx.. Wednesday I noticed a very strong smell of Fuel coming into the car through the a/c vents.
Yesterday it wasnt so bad, but today I started the car when cold I moved it back a few feet to check for a puddle and there was one. It seems to be leaking from the LH side (Passenger side UK)

Anybody ever have a similar problem? I'm a bit worried as its not really safe to drive with fuel leaking

Lift the seat base up in the back mate and check were the fuel lines go from inside the car to underneath and into top of tank mine had a pinhole leak here due to the pipe rusting and reeked of fuel !!!

was the puddle up under the engine bay area? If so passenger side is where the fuel filter and such is so check the lines coming to/from the filter see if any are dripping.
