Exclamation Gas leak help!!!

Well I just purchased a 1996 chevy tracker. I got a good deal on it the only thing wrong is that is has a gas leak. On the left rear side about a foot away from the gas tank gas sprays out all over every time I start it. On the left side gas leaks out of the fuel filter. I think I need a new fuel filter and possibly a new gas line. The problem is I cannot figure out why gas is spraying out the left side because from what I can see there is no gas line on that side. Can anybody guide into what exactly the problem may be with the spraying gas and what I should do to fix it. Thanks all help is appreciated!

Start by replacing what you know is leaking. It could be spraying to the other side, or running along something and then driping on the other side. It could really be anything... you can take a look at it, we can't.

So I go to this get-together at a friends house, not remembering it's a few days before Halloween. I see a bunch of dirty looking strangers. Then I see a guy that was clearly wearing a Halloween costume and I make the connection, and say "Oh yeah, Halloween... y'all goin' as a group of bums?". Turns out they weren't wearing costumes.
