I have an gas leak somewhere close to the fuel pump. It's not just a few drips, it'll make a puddle of about a foot in a few minutes. It only seems to happen sometimes and only when I first start the car. I can get it to stop by shutting the car off and restarting it , (Sometimes I have to do that two or three times). But once the leak stops it'll be fine for the rest of the day. Any ideas anyone?

I HIGHLY suggest you replace that inline fuel filter with a filter of a different design IMMEDIATELY. Those filters have internal threads that can strip out and leak gas and the car will keep running if the leak isn't too bad. A huge fire hazard. Go for a normal type metal or plastic filter not a see through type.
