Did one of those front rubber return lines crap out?

The fuel restriction sensor is a known leak spot. It is the round black sensor pointing up in your pic. Some folks just remove it and replace it with a 1/8" pipe plug, If you go that rout do not over tighten the plug as it can split the housing.
