fuel leak

I have a fuel leak that drips at the back of the engine, down through the trans converter cover, but only at initial start up, after a few minutes it stops. I can't find where it's coming from, any ideas? or common leak points?

look over the fuel bowl.

Sounds like when the fuel starts to warm up, the seal is swelling.

thanks Talyn, I found it, it was the fuel pressure sensor, leaking between the metal part and the plastic part. I don't know how long it was leaking but happy it's fixed!
