If it's got a leak you really shouldn't be driving it with hot exhaust pipes around!!!!
The main fuel line from the pump to the filter will be carrying best part of 6 bar of fuel pressure. A leak will cause it to spray out like a hose pipe and the pressure to drop.

Well if your guna be hungover just remember not to spark up while your having a look lol 
Rather than run it, bridge the fuel pump relay so the pumps running without the engine being on, bit safer than fuel spraying onto a hot exhaust.
I expect your problem will more than likely be one of the push on pipe connectors, my A reg cabby had a leaky one after i sorted the low fuel pressure problem, although mine was only weaping.
Give us a shout if u need anymore help
