Default Gas Leak?

Every time i get in my car i smell gas, when i am looking under the hood it looks wet behind the upper intake manifold...
Is there a common gas leak in this area, maybe the fuel lines?
Thanks

Not a common thing to leak. Start the car and look at the injectors real good. One could be leaking.

It might be the rubber hose that connects the fuel rails together if your fuel rails are stock.

The fuel check valve is between the fire wall and the upper intake?
It kinda looks like it might be the rubber hose...
Thanks for the help!
