The most serious was a leak in the fuel return line from the pressure regulator to my header tank which is a low pressure line.  In any case, the fuel was bubbling out between the stainless steel braid about 2 1/2" above the fitting and dropping straight down to the cowl (if had been on).  Line had been on the engine for 340 running hours and not in a high heat area.
Should have used clear lines. They you can see and fell when they go bad :)
